Easter in Gozo 2025
Easter in Gozo is a truly special time of year—a season where faith and tradition intertwine to create a unique and unforgettable experience.
A visit to Gozo during this period offers more than just beautiful spring weather. The island’s lush, green countryside warmly welcomes you, while the spiritual atmosphere is enriched by a vibrant and diverse cultural calendar. Alongside solemn religious events, a variety of family-friendly activities ensures that everyone leaves with cherished memories.
Easter in Gozo is notably well-organised and deeply rooted in community involvement. The island comes alive with street processions, pageants, tableaux, band marches, bell ringing, passion plays, and the dramatic carrying of statues. Coordinated by the Ministry for Gozo and Planning, these impressive spectacles mobilise an extraordinary number of people, showcasing the deeprooted customs that have shaped our communities for generations.
A highlight of the celebrations is the procession with the statue of l-Irxoxt, the Risen Christ, on Easter Sunday. The joyous pealing of church bells echoes through the streets, reviving cherished traditions and bringing communities together in a display of devotion and unity.
Through the meticulously curated Easter in Gozo programme, we invite you to immerse yourself in this rich tapestry of heritage and spirituality. It’s an experience like no other—one that only Gozo can offer.
We look forward to welcoming you and immerse in this remarkable experience of Easter in Gozo.

Festa sbejħa għal darb’oħra
Qed infakkru dawn il-jiem
Biex nurikom kemm hi kbira –
Ħbieb emmnuni ma nsibx kliem.
Għax wara Passjoni ħarxa
U mewt kiefra ma ngħidx kemm
Minn ġol-qabar Kristu rxoxta
Wara tant tixrid ta’ demm.
L-Iben t’Alla tliet snin qatta’
Iterraq mal-Palestina
Il-ġid jagħmel, mard ifejjaq
U l-ferħ tal-Ġenna jagħtina.
Imma n-nies kif pattithulu
Dan il-ġid, fejqan bla qies!
Billi fuq għuda sallbitu -
Imperreċ fuq l-ogħla sies!
Warajh miexja kien hemm ommu
Mifnija bl-eħrex dulur
Tibki, tolfoq u titniehed
Qalbha bl-hemm u n-niket tfur!
Pilatu bniedem bla sinsla
Bagħtu għall-flaġellazzjoni
Fejn lil Kristu rajna jogħtor
Taħt l-eħrex umiljazzjoni.
U biex jibqa’ ħbieb ma’ Ċesri
Għall-mewt kaxkru bla tlaqliq;
Fuq salib spiċċa msammar
Fost tbatija, hemm u dieq.
Iżda Kristu dlonk żamm kelmtu
U xejjen tal-mewt il-kruha -
Wara tlett ijiem irxoxta
Kulħadd staqsa: dan min huwa!
Din il-ġrajja hekk glorjuża
Titfakkar fil-knejjes tagħna;
Konferma qawwija w sħiħa
Illi Kristu għadu magħna.
Sewwa sew f’Ħamis ix-Xirka
Inżuru s-Seba’ Knejjes
Sepulkru armat sa snienu
Min jaf dan kemm sewa spejjeż!
U fil-jum tal-Ġimgħa l-Kbira
Pageants kbar, spettakolari,
Vestwarju tara mill-isbaħ
U numru sabiħ ta’ vari.
F’Ħadd il-Għid l-Irxoxt infakkru
Li jġib miegħu tant figolli
Għalkemm għandi xi ftit zokkor
Minn dawn żgur id-dar ikolli.
Sa ninqeda b’dan il-ktejjeb -
Nixteqilkom Għid Qaddis;
Jalla darkom dlonk timtela
B’ferħ ġenwin mill-aktar fis!
