Easter in Gozo 2020

L-GĦID F'GĦAWDEX EASTER IN GOZO

ARTI, FIDI U TRADIZZJONI 13 March - 12 April 2020

L-Għid il-Kbir hija festa kbira li tfakkarna fil-mewt u l-qawmien ta’ Kristu, żmien li fih aħna nerġgħu ngħixu t-tradizzjonijiet u d-drawwiet ta’ missirijietna. Huwa żmien li matulu ħafna jħarsu ’l quddiem biex b’attenzjoni josservaw dak li qiegħed jiġri filħajja tagħna. Dawn u prospetti oħrajn għandhom ikunu sinjali sbieħ tal-ġid li bħalissa l-Gżejjer Maltin qegħdin igawdu.

Easter celebrates the death and rise of Jesus Christ, a great feast that we re-live enthusiastically through art, faith and traditions. It is a time in which many look forward to and reflect on what is happening in our lives. These and other prospects are all signs of the common good and prosperity that our islands are experiencing.

Kif ħafna minnkom jafu, il-Ministeru għal Għawdex jgħin sabiex isiru diversi avvenimenti. Hija wkoll ħaġa pożittiva li f’pajjiżna hawn tant voluntiera li b’dedikazzjoni kbira jagħmlu minn kollox biex festi bħal dawn jirnexxu, u jkomplu minn ġenerazzjoni għall-oħra.

As many of you are aware, the Ministry for Gozo is devoted and committed to organize such activities. I thank all the volunteers, that with dedication, do all they can so that such activities flourish for the benefit of future generations.

Għal din is-sena wkoll, il-Ministeru għal Għawdex qiegħed iħejji għadd ta’ attivitajiet; programm imżewwaq li jiġbor il-qofol ta’ din il-ġrajja. Għalhekk nistieden lil kulħadd biex jieħu sehem f’dawn l-attivitajiet li qegħdin noffru. Nistiednu wkoll lil dawk li jinsabu barra minn xtutna biex ukoll iżuru lil Għawdex u jaraw is-sabiħ tal-Għid il-Kbir fil-gżira Għawdxija.

The Ministry for Gozo has once again prepared a programme of activities to promote Easter in Gozo. I invite everyone to participate in these activities organised for all the family. We also invite those who are away from our shores to visit Gozo and enjoy the enchanting way Easter is celebrated.

L-Għid it-Tajjeb L-Għid it-tajjeb nixteqilkom Minn qiegħ qalbi f’dawn il-jiem; Jalla bil-Qawmien ta’ Kristu Qalbkom tfur bl-hena u s-sliem.

Kristu bata, miet w irxoxta Sabiex jifdi lil kulħadd Issa jmiss il-parti tagħna – Li ma niċħduh qatt u qatt!

Kristu ssallab fuq injama Fost żebliħ, swat u tbatija Twieled f’għar għeri u fqajjar Biex jifdina minn kull ħtija.

Fit-tlett snin li dam iterraq Mat-triqat tal-Palestina, Smajt lill-folol ta’ spiss jgħidu: ‘Dan il-bniedem biss jaħjina!’

Mario Cassar is presenting a body of work he has produced during the last six years. The exhibition illustrates the artist’s interest in investigating how overlapping texts and images related to life and death in drawing, painting and sculpture can affect the viewer’s own perception of mortality.

U għalhekk f’dan l-Għid Imqaddes Nitolbuk Mulej Ġesù Irxuxtana mill-mewt tagħna Imla ’l qalbna b’kull virtù.

Lill-Maltin u ’l-Għawdxin kollha Imla ’l qalbhom b’ferħ ġenwin Li Ġesù bil-qawmien tiegħu Feda lilna l-bnedmin!

Post (Venue): Pompeii Church, Victoria Kunċert - Waslet is-Siegħa Concert - The Hour Has Come Il-Fondazzjoni Santa Ċeċilja għal darb’oħra se ttellgħa l-kunċert fi żmien tal-Ġimgħa Mqaddsa bl-isem “Waslet is-Siegħa”. Dan jibda bi prologu qasir fejn tingħata r-raġuni għaliex Kristu kellu jgħaddi minn din it-tbatija kollha. Il-passaġġi li jsegwu - ħmistax-il episodju - jistgħu jitqiesu bħala l-ħmistax-il stazzjon tal-Passjoni ta’ Kristu.

L-awtur jagħżel li ma jimxix fedelment mal-istazzjonijiet kif inhuma magħrufin tradizzjonalment, iżda jagħmel varjazzjonijiet, żidiet, u jgħaqqad oħrajn flimkien biex jagħmel il-mixja ta’ Kristu - mill-għorfa tal-ikla tal-Għid sal-qabar vojt - aktar drammatika u anke biex jevita xi repetizzjonijiet. Il-lirika ġiet minsuġa mis-Sur Mario Borg filwaqt li l-mużika ġiet miktuba minn Mro. Antoine Mercieca.

The Santa Cecilja Foundation will once again be holding its Holy Week concert titled "The Hour Has Come". The concert begins with a short prologue giving the real basis of why Christ had to undergo such suffering. The fifteen passages that follow can be considered as the fifteen stations of the cross, but with minor discrepancies. This intended variation averts the possibility of repetitions and hence makes the events more dynamic and dramatic. The lyrics of this concert have been written by Mr Mario Borg whilst the music has been composed by Mro Antoine Mercieca.
