As part of this unique festival, special treats such as gujiyas (fried dumplings stuffed with sweetened khoya) are enjoyed by everyone.

Malta: Feast Of St Joseph

The Feast Of St Joseph is one of Malta's biggest annual celebrations held on March 19th every year. This religious holiday celebrates St Joseph who was believed to have saved Malta from famine during 1614-1616 by bringing wheat (known as ‘il-qamh’) from Sicily which he had acquired through divine intervention. Nowadays it is celebrated with a public holiday where families gather to share traditional Maltese dishes such as ftira (baked bread filled with tuna or olives), pastizzi (pastry filled with ricotta or mushy peas), timpana (pasta bake made with macaroni), and much more!
