Il-messa©© <strong>tal</strong>-President tas-Soçjetà<br />
Mitt sena g˙all-Imqabbin<br />
... MuΩika, Kultura, Suççess<br />
Huwa ta’ unur g˙alija li qed<br />
inwassal dan il-messa©© tieg˙i b˙ala<br />
President ta’ din is-Soçjetà f’g˙eluq<br />
il-mitt sena mit-twaqqif tag˙ha. Tul<br />
dawn il-mitt sena ma kienx kollox<br />
façli. Kien hemm Ωmien ta’ tlug˙ u<br />
nΩul b˙al ma kul˙add jew kull familja<br />
jkollha fil-˙ajja tag˙ha. Però meta<br />
wie˙ed jiffaççja l-isfidi b’impenn<br />
veru jasal biex jimxi kontra l-kurrenti<br />
u hawn ikun sar is-suççess.<br />
Minn Ωmien g˙al Ωmien<br />
l-antenati tag˙na dejjem ˙admu u<br />
a˙na komplejna warajhom, sabiex<br />
g˙ollejna u kabbarna l-<strong>Festa</strong> tant<br />
g˙aΩiΩa g˙alina l-Imqabbin u g˙all-<br />
Maltin kollha, il-<strong>Festa</strong> ta’ <strong>Santa</strong><br />
<strong>Marija</strong>. Bil-kollaborazzjoni tassotto<br />
kumitati, stajna niksbu suççessi<br />
kbar kemm nazzjonali kif ukoll fuq<br />
baΩi internazzjonali b˙alma huma<br />
l-Ìemella©© bejn iΩ-Ωew© baned,<br />
dik tas-Soçjetà tag˙na l-<strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong><br />
Ìor© V u dik ta’ <strong>Santa</strong> Vittoria in<br />
Matenano mill-provinçja ta’<br />
Fermo fl-I<strong>tal</strong>ja, inkurunat bilkisba<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-unur Les Etoiles d’Or<br />
du Jumelage – Stilel tad-Deheb<br />
g˙all-Ìemella©©i. Barra minn<br />
hekk kellna suççessi f’pajjiΩna<br />
meta l-<strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V<br />
daqqet ©ewwa t-Teatru Manoel<br />
kif ukoll internazzjonalment<br />
meta l-<strong>Banda</strong> daqqet waqt<br />
udjenza mal-Papa Benedittu<br />
XVI ©ewwa s-Sala Nervi fil-<br />
Vatikan. Kellna wkoll issuççess<br />
meta l-Ghaqda tan-Nar<br />
reb˙et l-ewwel premju fl-Ewwel<br />
Festival Internazzjonali tan-Nar ta’<br />
Malta li sar fil-Port il-Kbir fis-sena<br />
2006 li segwa bis-suççess l-ie˙or<br />
dak tar-reb˙ <strong>tal</strong>-ewwel premju fil-<br />
Kampjonat Mondjali tan-Nar Caput<br />
Lucis 2007 li sar ©ewwa Ruma. Din<br />
is-sena wkoll iççelebrajna ir-reb˙ <strong>tal</strong>ewwel<br />
premju fir-IV Edizzjoni <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
Festival Nazzjonali tan-Nar <strong>tal</strong>-Art<br />
2010 li sar fil-Furjana.<br />
Ta’ min jg˙id li s-suççessi ma<br />
jsirux biss bil-kisba ta’ unuri minn<br />
Malta jew minn barra minn xtutna.<br />
Jien in˙oss li s-Soçjetà g˙amlet<br />
suççess ukoll meta nxtrat il-propjetà<br />
li g˙andha b˙alma huma l-KaΩin,<br />
l-im˙aΩen u l-post tan-nar kif ukoll<br />
dan l-a˙˙ar bit-tkabbir <strong>tal</strong>-istess<br />
KaΩin. Ta’ min ifakkar ukoll li dan<br />
l-a˙˙ar snin sar ˙afna xog˙ol ta’<br />
dekorazzjoni fis-sala prinçipali bilpittura<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Kav. Pawlu Camilleri<br />
Cauchi u barra minn hekk ing˙atat<br />
spinta kbira lill-armar.<br />
Is-Sur Carmel Zahra, President tas-Soçjetà waqt Ωjara ta’<br />
korteΩija li delegazzjoni mis-Soçjetà g˙amlet lill-E.T. President<br />
ta’ Malta Dr. George Abela nhar it-12 ta’ Jannar, 2010.<br />
Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V - Mqabba <strong>Festa</strong> 2010<br />
Is-Sur Carmel Zahra<br />
Dan ix-xog˙ol kollu ma jsirx mill-<br />
Kumitat biss, iΩda bil-koperazzjoni<br />
tas-soçji u l-partitarji kollha.<br />
G˙alhekk nixtieq nie˙u l-opportunità<br />
sabiex nirringrazzja lil kul˙add b’mod<br />
speçjali l-ewwel nett lil missirijietna<br />
li mexxew din is-Soçjetà b’g˙aqal<br />
u impenn kbir, lill-Eks Presidenti<br />
li mexxew din is-Soçjetà, lis-sotto<br />
kumitati kollha kif ukoll, lis-Surmast<br />
u l-bandisti, lill-benefatturi kollha u<br />
lis-soçji kollha li Ωgur li ming˙ajr ilkontribut<br />
tag˙hom ma konniex naslu<br />
fejn wasalna.<br />
Qabel nag˙alaq dan il-messa©©<br />
nixtieq nie˙u spunt mil-logo<br />
Çentinarju - Mitt sena g˙all-<br />
Imqabbin ... MuΩika, Kultura,<br />
Suççess. G˙alhekk nixtieq in˙e©©e©<br />
b’mod speçjali liΩ-Ωg˙aΩag˙ sabiex<br />
jipprattikaw dak li hemm miktub<br />
fuq il-logo biex ikollna s-suççess.<br />
Din is-sena b’mod speçjali nixtieq li<br />
niftakru fil-benefatturi li ˙allew din<br />
id-dinja u li a˙na qed ingawdu<br />
dak li ˙allewlna.<br />
Nag˙laq bis-soltu appell<br />
tieg˙i biex kul˙add i©ib ru˙u<br />
sewwa matul il-©ranet <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
<strong>Festa</strong>. Nifir˙u ming˙ajr ma<br />
nwe©©g˙u lil ˙add u nersqu lejn<br />
is-sagramenti u l-funzjonijiet<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-knisja u hekk ikollna <strong>Festa</strong><br />
sabi˙a u ta’ suççess kif tixtieq<br />
Ommna <strong>Marija</strong> mtellg˙a<br />
s-sema. Il-<strong>Festa</strong> t-tajba lill-<br />
Imqabbin kollha. Grazzi.<br />
Is-Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V tixtieq tifra˙ lis-<br />
Sur Carmel Zahra, President tas-Soçjetà<br />
fl-okkaΩjoni <strong>tal</strong>-g˙oxrin anniversarju b˙ala President <strong>tal</strong>-istess Soçjetà.<br />
Nawgurawlu aktar ˙idma b’risq is-Soçjetà tag˙na.<br />

Messa©© mis-Sindku tar-Ra˙al<br />
Is-sabi˙ <strong>tal</strong>-esperjenzi huwa<br />
li jg˙inuna nag˙Ωlu l-futur<br />
Il-˙ajja tag˙na hija mibnija fuq<br />
˙afna affarijiet li bosta minnhom<br />
huma tajbin ˙afna u o˙rajn ftit inqas.<br />
Però kollha jibqg˙u esperjenzi li<br />
jg˙allmuna, anke l-içken ˙a©a.<br />
Qatt ma g˙andna n˙allu ta˙rabilna<br />
l-okkaΩjoni li b’dak li se˙˙ fil-passat<br />
tag˙na jew ta’ o˙rajn nitg˙allmu<br />
minnha.<br />
Din is-sena ta˙bat il-mitt sena tas-<br />
Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor©<br />
V. Mhux ser nid˙ol fl-istorja kollha<br />
iΩda ppermettuli nag˙mel aççenn<br />
g˙aliha. Meta ©ie ppreΩentat il-logo<br />
xhur ilu, kont preΩenti u niftakar li<br />
laqatni ˙afna. Tliet kelmiet<br />
li ©abru l-istorja tas-Soçjetà<br />
fil-qosor u nimma©ina<br />
l-iskop li bih kienet<br />
twaqqfet. Ma nimma©inax<br />
li kien façli dejjem iΩ-Ωmien<br />
li g˙addiet minnu. Min jaf<br />
kemm il-partitarji tul is-snin<br />
kellhom jag˙tu l-massimu<br />
tag˙hom biex dak li bdew<br />
ta’ qabilhom ikomplu<br />
jibnu fuqu u jippreparaw<br />
pedamenti ©odda g˙allfutur.<br />
Ma nimma©inax<br />
anqas li naqsu Ω-Ωminijiet<br />
jew esperjenzi diffiçli fuq<br />
is-Soçjetà iΩda kieku ma<br />
g˙elbuhomx perswaΩ li<br />
mhux qed ji©i ççelebrat il-mitt sena.<br />
Illum hemm sfidi ©odda li qed<br />
jersqu lejn is-Soçjetajiet u kaΩini <strong>tal</strong>banda<br />
li jiççelebraw il-festi. Wie˙ed<br />
jifhem li mhux façli taççetta millewwel<br />
realtajiet ©odda li min˙abba<br />
çirkustanzi ta’ Ωmienna je˙tie© li<br />
nidrawhom u nirkbu fuqhom biex<br />
b’hekk nibdluhom f’opportunitajiet.<br />
Mhux lok li min˙abba fihom<br />
naqtg˙u qalbna b˙ala Maltin li<br />
f’demmna hemm mag˙©una l-˙e©©a<br />
li niççelebraw fuq kollox. Ûgur li<br />
mhux ser ikunu dawn iç-çirkostanzi<br />
©odda li ser iΩΩommuna b˙ala Maltin<br />
milli nkomplu noffru Sjuf s˙a˙ ta’<br />
spettakli u kultura lil ˙afna Maltin<br />
u G˙awdxin flimkien mal-mijiet<br />
ta’ turisti li jΩuru pajjiΩna apposta.<br />
L-importanti biex dan ise˙˙ però,<br />
je˙tie© li toktor is-solidarjetà bejn<br />
dawk kollha involuti. Irrilevanti<br />
x’festa jiççelebraw. Id-diskussjoni<br />
ma tridx tieqaf mal-ewwel diffikulta’<br />
anzi trid tippersisti dejjem aktar.<br />
G˙ar-ra©uni m’hemmx forza basta<br />
jitwarrab l-element personali u<br />
jitkattar dak soçjali. Jiena nemmen li<br />
Is-Sur Emanuel Galea, Sindku <strong>tal</strong>-Imqabba flimkien mal-President<br />
tas-Soçjetà, is-Sur Carmel Zahra u l-Kummissarju G˙oli <strong>tal</strong>-Ingilterra,<br />
is-Sinjura Louise Stanton, josservaw il-wirja unika ‘La Samana <strong>Santa</strong>’ waqt<br />
il-‘Lejla ta’ Tifkira’ organizzata fl-Imqabba nhar il-Ìimg˙a 9 ta’ April 2010.<br />
dejjem teΩisti soluzzjoni u g˙alkemm<br />
ji©u mumenti li fejn taqta’ jo˙ro©<br />
id-demm, l-esperjenza tg˙allem li<br />
jinqata’ fejn jo˙ro© l-inqas.<br />
Diffikultajiet niltaqg˙u mag˙hom<br />
kuljum anke b˙ala Kunsill Lokali u<br />
nser˙ilkom raskom li jkun hemm<br />
minnhom li jiddependi ˙afna<br />
x’niddeçiedu. Permezz <strong>tal</strong>-vot<br />
tag˙kom a˙na d˙alna g˙al din irresponsabbiltà<br />
wkoll li taf tin˙ass<br />
meta tkun tqila. G˙all-grazzja t’Alla<br />
u <strong>tal</strong>-esperjenza li ksibna tul is-snin<br />
Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V - Mqabba <strong>Festa</strong> 2010<br />
Is-Sur Emanuel Galea<br />
s’issa dejjem irnexxielna neg˙lbuhom<br />
u n˙arsu ’l quddiem. Kull tant veru,<br />
trid tkun persistenti aktar min-normal<br />
biex twassal fejn tixtieq dak kollu li<br />
jkun hemm ippreparat, iΩda dan kollu<br />
jkun fil-pakkett li tift˙u meta ti©i elett<br />
mill-poplu. Nifhem ukoll, g˙ax ji©u<br />
mumenti li tkun ser iççedi, tant tibda<br />
tara l-˙aΩin jew dak li ma tixtieqx<br />
©ej kontra biss u ta˙sbek ser tinfaqa’<br />
bil-piΩ tar-responsabbiltà li g˙andek.<br />
Alla ˙ares ma jkunux hemm dawk ta’<br />
madwarek l-aktar g˙eΩieΩ u jid˙lu<br />
jerfg˙ulek biçça fil-pront.<br />
Biss g˙alkemm ng˙addi minnhom<br />

Il-messa©© <strong>tal</strong>-Kappillan <strong>tal</strong>-parroçça<br />
<strong>Festa</strong> speçjali<br />
Nifhem li l-<strong>Festa</strong> ta’ din is-sena<br />
g˙andha tkun wa˙da speçjali g˙as-<br />
Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor©<br />
V u konsegwentement anke g˙ar-<br />
Ra˙al <strong>tal</strong>-Imqabba. Dan min˙abba<br />
l-fatt li din is-Soçjetà qed tiççelebra<br />
l-Ewwel Çentinarju tag˙ha.<br />
Mill-wirja li saret dan l-a˙˙ar<br />
fis-Sede tas-Soçjetà, fl-okkaΩjoni<br />
taç-çentinarju, stajt nifhem ftit minn<br />
kemm Soçjetà tg˙addi minn affarijiet.<br />
Kemm qtig˙ il-qalb, kemm diΩappunti<br />
imma wkoll ˙afna sodisfazzjon<br />
u suççessi. IΩda s-sigriet ta’<br />
kollox hi l-g˙aqda ta’ bejnietna.<br />
Fl-g˙aqda t-tbatija tinqasam<br />
bin-nofs u l-fer˙ jirdoppja.<br />
Il-˙sieb meta twaqqfet din<br />
is-Soçjetà kien li trawwem<br />
ambjent kulturali bejn ilmembri<br />
tag˙ha u anke fir-ra˙al<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Imqabba, kif ukoll tkun ta’<br />
servizz g˙all-parroçça tag˙na<br />
speçjalment matul il-©ranet <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
<strong>Festa</strong>. Ta’ dan kollu jiena nie˙u<br />
l-okkaΩjoni nirringrazzja lis-<br />
Soçjetà tas-servizz li tat matul<br />
is-snin f’dan ir-rigward.<br />
Li n˙arsu lejn il-passat mhux<br />
biΩΩejjed…tajjeb li nkunu ftit<br />
saqajna fl-art u n˙arsu dejjem ’il<br />
quddiem. Ng˙ixu maΩ-Ωminijiet<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-lum filwaqt li nirrispettaw<br />
il-valuri li t˙addan kull Soçjetà<br />
serja. U l-valuri tag˙na huma<br />
msejsa fuq dawk <strong>tal</strong>-Van©elu<br />
kif wassalhomlna Kristu stess.<br />
G˙alhekk nawgura lis-Soçjetà<br />
<strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> li tkompli timxi ’l<br />
quddiem billi twassal dawn il-valuri<br />
speçjalment dawk <strong>tal</strong>-g˙aqda u<br />
m˙abba lejn kul˙add.<br />
Nie˙u gost ng˙id li dan l-a˙˙ar<br />
qed naraw aktar maturità. Dan deher<br />
çar fil-Quddiesa prinçipali taΩ-Ωew©<br />
festi, meta kien hemm preΩenza<br />
tas-Soçjetà l-o˙ra. Deher ukoll<br />
meta f’Ottubru li g˙adda Ω-Ωew©<br />
soçjetajiet daqqew flimkien, blistendardi<br />
tat-tnejn flimkien, flimkien<br />
ma’ dak <strong>tal</strong>-Imqabba, f’okkaΩjoni<br />
organizzata mill-Kunsill Lokali.<br />
Illum qed nifhmu iΩjed li g˙alkemm<br />
ikun hemm opinjonijiet differenti<br />
dan ma jfissirx li ma nistg˙ux nifir˙u<br />
flimkien u nirrispettaw l-opinjoni ta’<br />
xulxin. Fl-a˙˙ar mill-a˙˙ar dan huwa<br />
wie˙ed mill-valuri fundamen<strong>tal</strong>i li<br />
Il-Kappillan Dun Nazzaren Caruana waqt il-ftu˙ <strong>tal</strong>-wirja ‘Lenti<br />
fuq is-Soçjetà (1910-2010)’ li ©iet imtellg˙a fis-swali <strong>tal</strong>-KaΩin<br />
bejn is-6 u l-20 ta’ Ìunju 2010.<br />
l-Van©elu jwasslilna.<br />
Ftit mumenti qabel Kristu miet<br />
fuq is-salib xtaq li j˙allilna rigal millisba˙…lil<br />
Ommu (“Hawn hi ommok”<br />
Ìw. 19,27). Óallielna lil din il-mara<br />
biex fiha naraw mudell çar ta’ kif<br />
g˙andna ng˙ixu. Tispikka l-˙lewwa<br />
li kellha speçjalment lejn dawk batuti.<br />
Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V - Mqabba <strong>Festa</strong> 2010<br />
Dun Nazzaren Caruana<br />
Jispikka wkoll is-silenzju tag˙ha.<br />
Kienet tag˙Ωel il-kliem li kienet<br />
tg˙id..qatt ma twe©©a’ bi kliemha<br />
iΩda dejjem tinkora©©ixxi lil dak li<br />
jkun. Anke fin-niket tag˙ha qatt ma<br />
qatg˙et qalbha g˙aliex kienet taf li<br />
Alla hu dejjem mag˙ha. Is-sigriet<br />
ta’ ˙ajjitha kienet l-g˙aqda s˙i˙a<br />
li kellha m’Alla. U dan kien jidher<br />
fil-mumenti li kienet issib matul il-<br />
©urnata biex ting˙aqad ma’ Alla waqt<br />
it-<strong>tal</strong>b tag˙ha. U g˙ax dejjem ˙abbet<br />
lil Alla dejjem stmerret id-dnub,<br />
g˙aliex dan juri s-suppervja<br />
tag˙na meta na˙sbu li we˙idna<br />
nistg˙u nimxu ’l quddiem. Meta<br />
nag˙mlu hekk dejjem niΩbaljaw<br />
u darba jew o˙ra jiddispjaçina.<br />
Mhux ta’ b’xejn li<br />
missirijietna g˙aΩlu lil <strong>Marija</strong><br />
b˙ala l-Patruna <strong>tal</strong>-parroçça<br />
tag˙na. Dan sabiex a˙na<br />
nitg˙allmu mill-virtujiet sbie˙<br />
li kienet t˙addan u nippruvaw<br />
a˙na wkoll nag˙mlu b˙alha.<br />
Jiena g˙alhekk minn<br />
hawnhekk nixtieq lil kul˙add<br />
il-<strong>Festa</strong> t-Tajba. Li jkunu ©ranet<br />
fejn tirrenja çerta armonija<br />
bejnietna. Ìranet li fihom<br />
nie˙du l-okkaΩjoni sabiex<br />
nisimg˙u l-Kelma t’Alla matul<br />
il-Kwindiçina. U li nersqu g˙assagramenti<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-qrar u tat-tqarbin.<br />
Nirringrazzja lil dawk li qed<br />
ja˙dmu g˙as-suççess <strong>tal</strong>-festa<br />
ta’ din is-sena. Ringrazzjament<br />
speçjali jmur g˙al tant nies li<br />
b’mod volontarju jarmaw il-knisja<br />
g˙all-okkaΩjoni u jaraw li din tkun<br />
nadifa. Grazzi wkoll g˙al tant o˙rajn<br />
li jarmaw it-toroq tag˙na u attivitajiet<br />
o˙ra li jsiru fuq barra b˙alma huma<br />

J’Alla <strong>Marija</strong> Mtellg˙a s-Sema<br />

Grazzi mill-qalb<br />

b’risq is-Soçjetà tag˙na<br />
G˙addiet sena o˙ra mill-a˙˙ar<br />
messa©© tieg˙i fil-ktejjeb annwali <strong>tal</strong>festa.<br />
Din kienet sena ferm impenjattiva<br />
fejn il-Kumitat kellu j˙abbat wiççu<br />
ma’ ˙afna problemi fir-rigward <strong>tal</strong>kostruzzjoni<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-KaΩin. G˙all-grazzja<br />
t’Alla u ta’ Ommna <strong>Marija</strong> dan ilpro©ett<br />
wasal fl-istadju finali tieg˙u<br />
biex fl-okkaΩjoni <strong>tal</strong>-g˙eluq <strong>tal</strong>-mitt<br />
sena Soçjetà nkunu tajna rigal sabi˙<br />
u xieraq lis-Soçjetà tag˙na. B’hekk,<br />
l-antenati li waqqfu s-Soçjetà tag˙na<br />
u dawk ta’ warajhom li komplew u<br />
a˙na li qed immexxu llum, inkomplu<br />

nispera li s-Soçjetà tibqa’ ssib nies<br />
li jkomplu jindokraw u<br />
jkabbru l-kult Marjan fis-<br />
Soçjetà u r-ra˙al tag˙na.<br />
Din is-sena ma nistax<br />
ma nsemmix li fost is-soçi<br />
u l-partitarji li ˙allewna<br />
kellna Ωew© persuni li g˙al<br />
snin twal taw il-˙in liberu<br />
tag˙hom b’risq is-Soçjetà.<br />
Hawn insemmi lil Joe<br />
Sciberras fil-qasam tannar<br />

nirringrazzja lill-kummissjoni taxxog˙ol<br />
kollu li g˙amlet ta’ kull xahar.<br />
Fost l-attivitajiet nixtieq insemmi<br />

Wara sena s˙i˙a ta’ ˙idma<br />

çentinarju, tas-Soçjetà tag˙na li<br />
©©ib l-isem ta’ <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong>.<br />
Quddiem dawn l-anniversarji,<br />
jiena kont ˙ejjejt <strong>tal</strong>b u ˙sibijiet<br />
speçjali g˙all-Adorazzjoni<br />
Ewkaristika li a˙na b˙ala membri<br />
ta’ din is-Soçjetà suppost li<br />
nag˙mlu flimkien fil-parroçça <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
Imqabba fil-ftu˙ <strong>tal</strong>-Kwaranturi<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-G˙id il-Kbir, parroçça li ©©ib<br />
l-isem ta’ <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u li allura<br />
g˙andha tkun wisq g˙al qalbna.<br />
Min˙abba li g˙al dik l-adorazzjoni,<br />
kienu ftit ˙afna dawk li attendew,<br />
f’dan il-messa©© tieg˙i, filwaqt<br />
li nag˙mel appell biex nie˙du aktar<br />
bis-serjetà l-appuntamenti li jkollna<br />
fil-parroçça tag˙na, nixtieq naqsam<br />
mag˙kom hawn dawn il-˙sibijiet li<br />
konna g˙amilna:<br />
L-Ewwel nett, ladarba qeg˙din<br />
niççelebraw l-1950 sena mill-mi©ja<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Appostlu San Pawl fostna, tajjeb<br />
li nag˙mlu riferiment lejn it-tag˙lim<br />
fl-Ewkaristija li hu ˙allielna. Dan<br />
nag˙mluh g˙ax ˙afna huma dawk<br />
illum fostna li jiç˙du din il-verità,<br />
u jinterpretawha kif jaqbel lilhom.<br />
Hemm bΩonn ur©enti li neqfulhom<br />
permezz <strong>tal</strong>-fidi qawwija tag˙na.<br />
Fl-ewwel Ittra lill-Korintin (1 Kor<br />
11, 23-25), insibu dawn il-preçiΩi<br />
kelmiet:<br />
“Jien irçevejt ming˙and il-Mulej ittag˙lim<br />
li g˙addejt lilkom, ji©ifieri, li<br />
l-Mulej Ìesù, fil-lejl li fih kien ittradut,<br />
˙a l-˙obΩ u wara li radd il-˙ajr qasmu<br />
u qal: ‘Dan hu ©ismi li jing˙ata<br />
g˙alikom; ag˙mlu dan b’tifkira tieg˙i.’<br />
Hekk ukoll g˙amel bil-kalçi wara li<br />
kiel u qal: ‘Dan il-kalçi hu l-patt il-<br />
©did b’demmi; ag˙mlu dan kull meta<br />
tixorbu, b’tifkira tieg˙i.”<br />
Tajjeb inkunu nafu li Pawlu kiteb<br />
dan meta l-Evan©elji kienu g˙adhom<br />
ma nkitbux. Dan ifisser li hawn g˙andna<br />
l-ewwel rakkont tat-twaqqif <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
Patri Joe Zahra O.P., Direttur Spiritwali tas-Soçjetà, waqt<br />
quddiesa li ©iet organizzata b˙ala l-bidu <strong>tal</strong>-festi reli©juΩi<br />
g˙as-Sena taç-Çentinarju nhar il-21 ta’ Frar 2010.<br />
Ewkaristija fit-Testment il-Ìdid, u iva<br />
dan huwa kliem li g˙andna noqog˙du<br />
fuqu.... fl-a˙˙ar mill-a˙˙ar, dan hu<br />
kliem ispirat mill-Ispirtu s-Santu u<br />
allura din hija Kelma ta’ Alla, iktar<br />
milli hija kelma ta’ San Pawl. Tajjeb<br />
ninnutaw li fis-silta ta’ qabel din, San<br />
Pawl jg˙id hekk:<br />
“Il-kalçi mbierek li fuqu ng˙idu l-barka<br />
m’huwiex g˙aqda mad-demm ta’<br />
Kristu? U l-˙obΩ li naqsmu m’huwiex<br />
g˙aqda mal-©isem ta’ Kristu? G˙ax la<br />
l-˙obΩa hi wa˙da, a˙na, li a˙na ˙afna,<br />
a˙na ©isem wie˙ed; ilkoll kemm a˙na<br />
nie˙du sehem minn ˙obΩa wa˙da”<br />
(1 Kor 10, 16-17).<br />
U g˙alhekk a˙na u niççelebraw<br />
dawn il-100 sena tas-Soçjetà,<br />
Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V - Mqabba <strong>Festa</strong> 2010<br />
Patri Joseph Zahra O.P.<br />
g˙andna na˙dmu ˙afna g˙all-g˙aqda<br />
bejnietna.. Il-˙obΩ u l-kalçi (l-Inbid)<br />
jsiru espressjoni <strong>tal</strong>-g˙aqda flimkien<br />
ta’ dawk li jemmnu u jie˙du sehem<br />
mill-Ewkaristija... g˙alhekk il-festi<br />
tag˙na niççelebrawhom dejjem biççelebrazzjoni<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Ewkaristija – il-<br />
Festi tag˙na jridu jkunu sinjal ta’<br />
g˙aqda u mhux ta’ firda. G˙alhekk<br />
ukoll jag˙mel ˙aΩin ˙afna min ma<br />
jersaqx g˙al din l-g˙aqda, g˙al din<br />
l-Ewkaristija ta’ lanqas kull nhar<br />
ta’ Óadd – il-Jum li fih niçcelebraw<br />
il-Qawmien ta’ Sidna Ìesù Kristu<br />
mill-Imwiet. Kull nhar ta Óadd<br />
huwa l-G˙id il-Kbir <strong>tal</strong>-Mulej.<br />
Kull nhar ta Óadd hija l-<strong>Festa</strong><br />
l-Kbira tag˙na!!<br />
IΩda kif g˙andna nersqu? Araw<br />
x’jg˙id San Pawl:<br />
“Mela kull min jiekol il-˙obΩ jew<br />
jixrob il-kalçi <strong>tal</strong>-Mulej bla ma<br />
jixraqlu, ikun ˙ati <strong>tal</strong>-©isem u<br />
d-demm <strong>tal</strong>-Mulej. Óa jag˙rbel<br />
il-bniedem lilu nnifsu, imbag˙ad<br />
jiekol il-˙obΩ u jixrob il-kalçi” (1<br />
Kor 11, 27-28).<br />
Pawlu jis˙aq hawnhekk li<br />
hemm bΩonn li tassew nemmnu<br />
fil-preΩenza reali ta’ Ìesù fl-<br />
Ewkaristija, tant li ma nistg˙ux<br />
nersqu g˙at-tqarbin bla ma nkunu<br />
g˙arbilna sew lilna nfusna, bla ma<br />
nkunu ersaqna lejn ir-rikonçiljazzjoni<br />
ma’ Alla (is-sagrament <strong>tal</strong>-Qrar)...<br />
Kemm-il darba qed nersqu g˙allqrar?<br />
Kif nersqu? Kemm nersqu g˙attqarbin?<br />
Mulej Ìesù, g˙allimna nifhmu<br />
l-importanza ta’ dawn is-sagramenti<br />
li inti ˙allejtilna. G˙allimna nifhmu li<br />
dawn huma s-sinjali li jidhru li permezz<br />
tag˙hom a˙na nirçievu l-grazzja<br />
tieg˙ek – grazzja li twassalna ma’<br />
Ommna <strong>Marija</strong> fi ˙danek fis-Saltna<br />
tas-Smewwiet. Amen. NAPPELLA<br />

Il-qofol u l-milja<br />
ta’ kull festa<br />
Huma ˙afna dawk li minn sena<br />
g˙al o˙ra jistennew b’˙erqa kbira<br />
l-festa <strong>tal</strong>-Belt jew Ra˙al tag˙hom.<br />
Ewlenin fost dawn insibu l-g˙exieren<br />
ta’ dawk impenjati fil-Kumitati,<br />
Kummissjonijiet u Sezzjonijiet li<br />
fil-biçça l-kbira minnhom huma<br />
fi ˙dan il-KaΩini <strong>tal</strong>-<strong>Banda</strong> u li<br />
ja˙dmu s-sena kollha b’sagrifiççju<br />
personali biex jorganizzaw il-<strong>Festa</strong>.<br />
Dawn l-inizjattivi huma ta’ min<br />
ifa˙˙arhom u jinkora©©ihom.<br />
L-G˙aqda KaΩini <strong>tal</strong>-<strong>Banda</strong> li<br />
tirrappreΩenta lill-Baned kollha ta’<br />
Malta u G˙awdex minbarra t-tnejn<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Belt, matul din is-sena, minbarra<br />
l-˙afna xog˙ol li tag˙mel g˙all-<br />
©id <strong>tal</strong>-baned Maltin u G˙awdxin,<br />
tat ukoll kontribut kbir dwar id-<br />
Dokument Konsultattiv li ˙ar©et<br />
id-Djoçesi <strong>tal</strong>-Knisja Maltija.<br />
Liema dokument ing˙ata<br />
pubbliçità kbira u ng˙idu li anke<br />
©ie manipulat mill-media kif ukoll<br />
minn u˙ud li ftit li xejn jifhmu filfesti.<br />
Quddiem din is-sitwazzjoni,<br />
ir-rappreΩentanti <strong>tal</strong>-Baned urew<br />
maturità u g˙aqal kbir u flok tkaxkru<br />
mal-kurrent, flimkien studjaw iddokument<br />
u qablu dwar proposti<br />
konkreti biex jirran©aw dak li mhux<br />
sejjer tajjeb fiç-çelebrazzjonijiet<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Festi. Proposti li g˙amlu ©ie˙<br />
lill-KaΩini <strong>tal</strong>-<strong>Banda</strong>.<br />
Il-festi fil-bidu tag˙hom kellhom<br />
aktar rabta reli©juΩa milli soçjali kif<br />
nafuhom illum, fejn iç-çirkustanzi<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-˙ajja kienu ˙afna differenti.<br />
Imma l-˙sieb prinçipali kien u<br />
hekk g˙andu jibqa’ li fil-©ranet <strong>tal</strong>festa<br />
rridu na˙sbu fuq il-˙wejje©<br />
kbar u <strong>tal</strong>-g˙a©eb li Alla g˙amel<br />
fil-qaddejja tieg˙u, u b˙ala nsara<br />
g˙andna nippruvaw nimxu fuq<br />
l-g˙emejjel tag˙hom. Dan huwa<br />
l-qofol u l-milja ta’ kull festa.<br />
Hawn qbil li kif qeg˙din ji©u<br />
ççelebrati l-festi hemm x’wie˙ed<br />
jirran©a. Hija ˙a©a tajba li jkun<br />
hemm gwida maqbula minn dawk<br />
kollha involuti fl-organizzazzjoni<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-festi biex nil˙qu l-g˙anijiet<br />
tag˙na.<br />
Nafu li s-sitwazzjoni hija<br />
differenti f’kull ra˙al u belt, bejn<br />
festa u o˙ra. G˙alhekk l-g˙aqda<br />
mill-bidu ta’ dan l-eΩerçizzju<br />
g˙arfet il-bΩonn li jkun hemm aktar<br />
Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V - Mqabba <strong>Festa</strong> 2010<br />
koordinament u involviment fuq<br />
baΩi parrokkjali fejn dawk kollha<br />
involuti fl-organizzazzjoni <strong>tal</strong>-festa<br />
jkunu jistg˙u jag˙mlu awto-kritika<br />
tas-sehem tag˙hom u flimkien jaraw<br />
li mixjin fuq gwidi maqbula. Barra<br />
minn dan nifhmu wkoll li hemm<br />
˙tie©a ta’ edukazzjoni kontinwa<br />
dwar l-im©iba waqt il-©ranet <strong>tal</strong>festa,<br />
li g˙alkemm din hija xi ˙a©a<br />
li ilna nitkellmu dwarha, ftit li xejn<br />
sar progress fuqha.<br />
Ninsabu sodisfatti bil-mod kif<br />
tmexxew id-diskussjonijiet bejn<br />
l-G˙aqda u l-Awtoritajiet <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
Knisja. Nawguraw li dawk kollha<br />
impenjati fiç-çelebrazzjonijiet <strong>tal</strong>festa<br />
ja˙dmu biex flimkien issir<br />
iΩ-Ωabra li hemm bΩonn. Biex dan<br />
ise˙˙ hemm bΩonn li nwaqqg˙u<br />
l-˙itan li tul is-snin inbnew bejn<br />
kaΩin u ie˙or, festa u o˙ra. Nifhmu<br />
li mhux façli u jin˙tie©u sagrifiççji<br />
u dixxiplina.<br />
Imma jekk a˙na konvinti millg˙anijiet<br />
tag˙na, jirnexxielna naslu<br />
biex ikollna festi li jag˙tu ©ie˙ lil<br />
Alla qabel kollox, lill-Qaddisin<br />

Appell ie˙or lil dawk<br />
li matul is-sena jkunu<br />
jixtiequ jag˙tu daqqa t’id<br />
fil-manutenzjoni sabiex<br />
javviçinaw lili jew lillkumitat.<br />
Flimkien u<br />
bil-g˙ajnuna ta’ ˙afna,<br />
ix-xog˙ol ikun jista’<br />

Messa©© mis-Surmast<br />
<strong>Re</strong>sponsabbiltà<br />
biex inkomplu nkabbru<br />
l-Kultura MuΩikali<br />
Din is-sena hija wa˙da speçjali g˙al<br />
din is-Soçjetà fejn qed niççelebraw<br />
il-mitt sena mit-twaqqif <strong>tal</strong>-ewwel<br />
Soçjetà MuΩikali ©ewwa l-Imqabba.<br />
Jien b˙ala s-Surmast attwali n˙oss<br />
responsabbilta’ kbira li g˙andi<br />
nkompli mmexxi l-kultura muΩikali<br />
’l quddiem biex din is-Soçjetà tibqa’<br />
tavvanza u titjieb.<br />
Dan kollu jse˙˙ b’impenn li<br />
wie˙ed irid dejjem jag˙ti permezz<br />
tat-ta˙ri© muΩikali li jibqa’ jing˙ata<br />
fis-sede <strong>tal</strong>-KaΩin, kif ukoll bil-provi<br />
li jsiru matul is-sena biex nippreparaw<br />
lill-<strong>Banda</strong> g˙al kull okkaΩjoni li tie˙u<br />
sehem fiha. Kif dejjem ng˙id dan ma<br />
jkunx jista’ jsir jekk ma jkollhiex<br />
g˙ajnuna mill-muΩiçisti <strong>tal</strong>-lokal u<br />
l-kumitati li mexxew din l-G˙aqda<br />
tul dawn l-a˙˙ar snin. Hawnhekk<br />
nixtieq nie˙u spunt biex nirringrazzja<br />
lill-muΩiçisti <strong>tal</strong>-lokal g˙all-appo©©<br />
li dejjem urew mieg˙i. Hawnhekk,<br />
mill-qalb nirringrazzja, g˙ax Ωgur<br />
ikun qed jilqa’ l-messa©© minn<br />
fejn qieg˙ed, lill-muΩiçista ÌuΩepp<br />
Zammit li ˙alliena iktar kmieni din issena.<br />
Il-memorji tieg˙u<br />
Ωgur jibqg˙u ittimbrati<br />
f’mo˙˙i meta konna<br />
niddiskutu l-muΩika<br />
waqt il-provi ta’ matul<br />
is-sena u li xemx jew<br />
xita ma kienx ifallihom.<br />
ÌuΩepp huwa eΩempju<br />
ta’ kif g˙andu jkun<br />
muΩiçista, li taf kemm<br />
taf, dejjem tibqa’ umli<br />
g˙ax il-muΩika tant hija<br />
vasta u titlob studju, li<br />
˙add ma jista’ jg˙id li<br />
jaf kollox.<br />
In–numru <strong>tal</strong>-alljievi<br />
mis-sena l-o˙ra ’l hawn<br />
baqa’ konsistenti u hemm<br />
numru sabi˙ jattendu<br />
g˙al-lezzjonijiet. Fil-fatt<br />
din is-sena ser ikollna lil Charlene<br />
Bondin li ser tifforma parti mill-<br />
<strong>Banda</strong> fi Ωmien il-<strong>Festa</strong>. Kemm ilni<br />
Surmast f’din is-Soçjetà rajt diversi<br />
muΩiçisti li Ωdiedu b˙ala membri<br />
fil-<strong>Banda</strong> tag˙na kif ukoll Ωjieda finnumru<br />
ta’ alljievi li jiffrekwentaw illezzjonijiet<br />
li jsiru ta’ kull ©img˙a.<br />
Dan jawgura tajjeb g˙all-©ejjieni<br />
ta’ din il-<strong>Banda</strong> biex tkompli tissa˙˙a˙<br />
u tiffjorixxi tul iΩ-Ωminijiet li ©ejjin<br />
biex inkomplu n˙addnu is-sisien sodi<br />
li missirijietna bnew fuqhom din is-<br />
Soçjetà mimlija suççessi.<br />
Ta’ sodisfazzjon kbir g˙alija huwa<br />
ta’ kif il-pubbliku b’mod in ©enerali<br />
qed jilqa’ l-kunçerti sinfoniçi li ttella’<br />
l-<strong>Banda</strong> tag˙na. Is-sena l-o˙ra wara<br />
s-suççess fil-<strong>Festa</strong> kellna kliem ta’<br />
tif˙ir ta’ kif ©ie organizzat il-kunçert<br />
imtella’ fis-sala <strong>tal</strong>-iskola primarja<br />
f’Jum l-Imqabba, fejn il-muΩika u<br />
l-eΩekuzzjoni tag˙ha ntlaqg˙u ferm<br />
tajjeb mill- pubbliku preΩenti. Kellna<br />
wkoll il-ftu˙ <strong>tal</strong>-wirja fiΩ-Ωminijiet <strong>tal</strong>-<br />

Ωminijiet diffiçli biex wie˙ed ikun<br />
jista’ jkompli jistudja. Kul˙add huwa<br />
impenjat f’diversi oqsma o˙ra ta’<br />
xog˙ol u l-passatempi saru diffiçli<br />
biex wie˙ed jipprattikahom min˙abba<br />
n-nuqqas ta’ ˙in li wie˙ed ikollu.<br />
B˙al kull sena nistieden ilpubbliku<br />
in ©enerali g˙all-kunçert<br />
sinfoniku u vokali, annwali mtella’<br />
fl-10 t’Awwissu, fejn b˙al kull sena<br />

ta’ kul˙add.<br />
Nie˙u spunt minn dan l-artiklu<br />

Is-Sena taç-Çentinarju<br />
Matul din is-sena, is-Soçjetà<br />
<strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor©<br />
V qieg˙da tiççelebra l-ewwel<br />
çentinarju tag˙ha sa mit-twaqqif<br />
tag˙ha. Qeg˙din ng˙idu hekk<br />
g˙aliex ta’ min wie˙ed ifakkar<br />
li s-Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> ©iet<br />
imwaqqfa uffiçjalment fis-sena<br />
1910 g˙alkemm qabel din id-data<br />
sewwasew fl-1905 kien di©à fforma<br />
grupp ta’ nies li kien jiltaqa’ fit-<br />
Torri Vincenti u li kien waqqaf il-<br />
KaΩin Soçjali <strong>Santa</strong> Maria.<br />
Biex dan l-anniversarju jkun<br />
imfakkar bl-a˙jar mod possibbli,<br />
f’Ottubru 2009, il-Kumitat ˙atar<br />
kummissjoni apposta biex il-festi<br />
çentinarji jkunu fdati f’idejn din<br />
il-kummissjoni. Il-kummissjoni<br />
hija komposta minn 8 persuni;<br />
Dr Charles Sciberras, is-Sur John<br />
Zammit, is-Sur Frans Vella, is-Sur<br />
Antoine Sciberras, is-Sur Antoine<br />
Abdilla, is-Sur Antoine Farrugia,<br />
is-Sur Carlo Sciberras u s-Sur<br />
Mario Zammit.<br />
L-ewwel biçça xog˙ol li<br />
l-kummissjoni kellha quddiemha<br />
Ûjara ta’ korteΩija lill-E.T. President ta’ Malta Dr. George Abela fil-Palazz<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Belt li saret nhar it-12 ta’ Jannar 2010.<br />
kienet l-g˙aΩla <strong>tal</strong>-logo uffiçjali<br />
u l-ftu˙ tas-sena çentinarja. Iddisinn<br />
li ntg˙aΩel g˙al din is-sena<br />
jikkonsisti fin-numru 100 u li fiççrieki<br />
tieg˙u hemm l-arma tas-<br />
Soçjetà u wiçç l-istatwa devota ta’<br />
<strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong>.<br />
Ta’ min jinnota li dawn iç-çrieki<br />
huma amalgamati flimkien sabiex<br />
jirrifletti li fierg˙a jkunu l-festi<br />
tag˙na b˙ala Soçjetà jekk mhux blg˙an<br />
ewlieni li nag˙tu tif˙ir u qima<br />
lil Ommna <strong>Marija</strong> tas-Sema ta˙t<br />
it-titolu <strong>tal</strong>-Assunzjoni. Dan kollu<br />
jwassalna sabiex finalment naslu<br />
lejn dak li huwa Wa˙dieni ji©ifieri<br />
li jwassalna lejn Alla l-Missier li<br />
wara kollox huwa l-iskop g˙all-<br />
˙ajja tag˙na.<br />
Imdawra man-numru 100, hemm<br />
vle©©a li turi l-bidu tas-Soçjetà, fejn<br />
ninsabu llum u fejn irridu naslu blemfasi<br />
tkun li s-Soçjetà hija ˙ajja<br />
u trid tibqa’ g˙addejja bil-˙idma<br />
tag˙ha.<br />
B˙ala motto, il-kummissjoni<br />
g˙aΩlet kliem meqjus li hu ‘Mitt<br />

Is-Sur Antoine Sciberras<br />
Kultura, Suççess’. Dan il-motto juri<br />
li s-Soçjetà tag˙na mhux mag˙luqa<br />
biss g˙as-soçji u partitarji anzi din<br />
is-sena u fi snin li ©ejjin qieg˙da<br />
tinkludi lill-poplu Mqabbi kollu.<br />
Ìew mag˙Ωula l-kliem MuΩika<br />
u Kultura, g˙ax l-g˙an tas-Soçjetà<br />

Inkura©©it mill-ewwel suççessi<br />
fl-istudji muΩikali, iddeçieda li<br />
japprofondixxi b’iktar serjetà.<br />
Fl-1956 mar Londra u rre©istra<br />
b˙ala student <strong>tal</strong>-London College<br />
of Music u l-Guild Hall of Music<br />
and Drama fejn kien jattendi b˙ala<br />
‘evening classes student’. Fl-1957<br />
ikkwalifika g˙ad-diploma L.Mus.<br />
LCM. u g˙al F.L.C.M. fl-1962. Sa<br />
fejn hu mag˙ruf dan kien l-ewwel<br />
Malti li studja fil-London College<br />
of Music u mmerita dawn iΩ-Ωew©<br />
diplomi.<br />
B’rabta maç-çentinarju Pawlin<br />
fl-1960 ikkompona ‘St. Paul’s<br />
Variations’, muΩika bbaΩata<br />
fuq l-g˙ajdut antik Malti li nhar<br />
San Pawl it-temp jinbidel seba’<br />
darbiet. Din il-kompoΩizzjoni tibda<br />
b’tema prinçipali li tissolvi f’seba’<br />
varjazzjonijiet kollha bbaΩati fuq<br />
it-tema prinçipali jew l-istess<br />

f’din l-okkaΩjoni re©g˙et indaqqet<br />
is-‘St. Paul’s Variations’. Meta<br />
kien g˙adu Londra Mro. Spiteri<br />
kkompona ‘Roosevelt Scroll’,<br />
kantata g˙all-Orkestra, baritonu u<br />

F’Londra Mro. Spiteri kien g˙al<br />

Lura f’Malta fl-1964 kiteb innu<br />
“Lil <strong>Marija</strong> Assunta” g˙all-banda li<br />
tant kien ˙adem g˙aliha - il-<strong>Banda</strong><br />
<strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V. Dan ir-rigal kien<br />
l-ewwel innu g˙all-vuçi pwerili<br />
li kellha s-Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong><br />
g˙all-festa <strong>tal</strong>-parroçça. Mill-mod<br />
kif bena din il-kompoΩizzjoni u<br />
l-maestrija fl-armonija, nibdew<br />
nifhmu l-abilta’ ta’ dan is-surmast<br />
kompoΩitur. Indaqq l-ewwel darba<br />
mill-<strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V minn fuq<br />
iz-zuntier fi ˙ru© il-vara ta’ <strong>Santa</strong><br />
<strong>Marija</strong> min-niçça nhar il-Óadd 9 ta’<br />
Awwissu 1964, u kien kantat minn<br />
kor ta’ xebbiet tas-Soçjetà.<br />
Fl-istess sena ˙adem bankun<br />

Ωmien ukoll irrinova l-bieb ta’ barra<br />

Dipartiment <strong>tal</strong>-Edukazzjoni fejn<br />
wara ©ie stabbilit. Dam 27 sena<br />
f’dan l-impjieg sa ma rtira bl-età.<br />
Fl-1965 ˙a sehem kbir fiddekorazzjoni<br />
tas-sala <strong>tal</strong>-KaΩin tas-<br />

tas-Sur ÌuΩè Galea, mir-Rabat,<br />
g˙amel il-forom g˙all-iskultura<br />
kollha tas-saqaf u wara ffurmahom<br />
u wa˙˙alhom f’posthom.<br />
Bejn l-1984 u l-1986 Mro.<br />
Spiteri ddisinja u ˙adem in-niçça<br />
g˙all-istatwa ta’ San Bastjan. Din<br />
hi l-akbar xog˙ol fid-daqs li ˙ar©et<br />

Galea ˙adem ix-xog˙ol <strong>tal</strong>-injam<br />

F’dan ix-xog˙ol ta’ min japprezza<br />

ÌuΩepp Zammit<br />
Joseph, mag˙ruf iktar b˙ala<br />
ÌuΩepp, twieled l-Imqabba flewwel<br />
t’Awwissu <strong>tal</strong>-1938 minn<br />
Karmnu u Modesta Zammit<br />
bil-laqam ‘<strong>tal</strong>-g˙oli’. Kien ittielet<br />
wild minn ˙dax a˙wa<br />
˙ajjin peress li erbg˙a ˙utu o˙ra<br />
mietu trabi. Attenda l-iskola<br />
primarja <strong>tal</strong>-Imqabba u wara<br />
kompla s-sekondarja fl-iskola<br />
St. Michael. G˙amel l-eΩami<br />
tad-Dockyard fejn da˙al ja˙dem<br />
b˙ala fitter fil-workshop fuq<br />
it-tornijiet iΩ-Ωg˙ar. Wara 40<br />
sena ta’ ˙idma xejn façli biss˙anat<br />
fis-sajf u l-ksie˙ taxxitwa<br />
ta˙t soqfa <strong>tal</strong>-pjançi u<br />
storbju kontinwu, irtira mixxog˙ol<br />
b’sodisfazzjon u grad<br />
ta’ mg˙allem. Kien miΩΩewwe©<br />
lil Doris u kellu Ωew© subien<br />
iΩda sortunatament ˙alliet din<br />
id-dinja f’età Ωg˙ira. Ftit snin<br />
wara re©a’ ΩΩewwe© lil Mary u<br />
kellhom tifel ie˙or.<br />
B˙ala passatempi kellu l-istess<br />
xog˙ol li kien ja˙dem,<br />
ji©ifieri l-in©inerija,<br />
is-sajd u bla dubju<br />
l-muΩika. Beda meta<br />
kellu madwar 14il<br />
sena bid-drums.<br />
Kien idoqq fi grupp<br />
ta’ sitta min-nies u<br />
kienu involuti filparteçipazzjonitatteatrin.<br />
Kienu jdoqqu<br />
fit-ti©ijiet u fix-xalati<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-festi. Il-muΩika<br />
li kienu jdoqqu<br />
kienet fuq stil jazz. F’dawk iΩ-<br />
Ωminijiet missieru kellu ˙anut<br />
tax-xorb ©ewwa l-Imqabba u<br />
ma setax jonqos li Joseph ma<br />
jag˙tix sehmu flimkien ma’ ˙uh<br />
billi beda jdoqq il-kitarra biex<br />
jallegraw lill-klijenti li kien ikun<br />
hemm fil-˙anut. Iddeçieda li<br />
jibda jdoqq il-banda mas-Soçjetà<br />
<strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u beda jitg˙allem<br />
il-klarinett. G˙amel snin idoqq<br />
fil-banda fejn imbag˙ad waqaf.<br />
X’aktarx li rtira mal-mewt <strong>tal</strong>ewwel<br />
mara. Snin wara kien<br />
re©a’ ©ie kkuntatjat mill-kaΩin<br />
ta’ <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> biex jer©a’ jibda<br />
jdoqq. U hekk g˙amel g˙al dawn<br />
l-a˙˙ar 27 sena fejn kien idoqq<br />
il-katuba. G˙alkemm qatta’<br />
madwar 18-il sena jg˙ix Ra˙al<br />
Ìdid u 31 sena jg˙ix ÓaΩ-Ûabbar,<br />
id-dover tieg˙u b˙ala bandist<br />
dejjem g˙amlu. <strong>Programm</strong> jew<br />
març qatt ma fallieh u rari falla<br />
xi kunçert g˙ajr dawn l-a˙˙ar<br />
snin peress li kien kiber fl-età.<br />
Is-Sur ÌuΩepp Zammit jidher jirçievi l-unur ‘Bandist tas-Sena - 1998’<br />

Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V - Mqabba <strong>Festa</strong> 2010<br />
Is-Sur David Zammit<br />
Barra l-Imqabba g˙amel ukoll<br />
xi ftit snin idoqq mal-banda ta’<br />
San Mikiel ©ewwa ÓaΩ-Ûabbar.<br />
Meta rtira mix-xog˙ol u allura<br />
kellu ˙afna iktar ˙in liberu kien<br />
xtara syntisizer. Beda jitg˙allmu<br />
wa˙du u jekk kont tmur tard<br />
wara nofsinhar kont issibu jdoqq<br />
kanzunetti ta’ Ωmienu. Ra li<br />
seta jg˙amel iktar u ddeçieda li<br />
jikteb març u wara kiteb ie˙or.<br />
Tant kemm kellu g˙al qalbu<br />
l-muΩika li kull minn jafu, jista’<br />
jg˙id li lil Joseph jiftakru jsaffar<br />
jew xi kanzunetta antika jew xi<br />
març. Nazzarda biex ng˙id li<br />
iktar saffar milli tkellem f’˙ajtu.<br />
Ma kienx iparla ˙afna però dak<br />
li jg˙id kien ikun fih x’tomg˙od.<br />
Barra l-istrumenti li semmejt<br />
Joseph kien idoqq ikoll ilmandolina<br />
u l-accordian.<br />
Kien bniedem li jekk titolbu<br />
pjaçir ma kienx jaf jg˙id le u<br />
b’dawn il-kwalitajiet Joseph kien<br />
ammirat minn diversi nies. Però<br />
tajjeb li mhux<br />
nammirawh biss<br />
iΩda nikkupjawh.<br />

F’©ie˙ l-istorja Kitba tas-Sur Giovanni Battista Farrugia<br />
Storiku<br />
Din is-sena qed niççelebraw ilmitt<br />
sena tas-Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong><br />
(1910 – 2010). Skont l-istorja,<br />
f’din id-data ©ie rre©istrat l-ewwel<br />
kumitat bis-Sur Feliç Zammit,<br />
l-ewwel President, bniedem ta’<br />
çerta intelli©enza u li tant kien<br />
jirrispettani. Skont xi g˙ajdut; dan<br />
kien l-ewwel kumitat rikonoxxut<br />
mill-©ustizzja. Però dan ma jfissirx<br />
li ma kiex hemm xi kwalità ta’<br />
kumitati o˙ra. U dan g˙aliex saru<br />
festi kbar qabel din id-data, kif kien<br />
qalli darba s-Sur Feliç Zammit.<br />
Jien ©a ktibt xi ˙a©a dwar dan …<br />
is-Sur Zammit kien jinteressa ru˙u<br />
fl-istorja … Din hi storja twila u<br />
glorjuΩa li jippossedi l-Partit <strong>Santa</strong><br />
<strong>Marija</strong>, u diΩgrazzjatament g˙adu<br />
ma nkiteb xejn dwar dan!<br />
In˙allu ftit l-istorja antika, u<br />
nistudjaw dan l-annu li jidher li hu<br />
annu providenzjali, 1 g˙all-fatt li<br />
fl-1610 ittie˙det deçiΩjoni li jsiru<br />
2 çerti devozzjonijiet, u festi Ωg˙ar<br />
lil <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong>, <strong>tal</strong>-Faqqanija … li<br />
kellha devozzjoni kbira mill-akwati<br />
tag˙na, li kellha wkoll xi ikoni (ex<br />
voto) prova tad-devozzjoni. Kien<br />
fil-1710 fi Ωmien il-Kappillan Dun<br />
Nerik Cuschieri li kabbar ˙afna<br />
d-devozzjoni lejn l-Assunta u<br />
kompla l-bini <strong>tal</strong>-knisja. Spiçça<br />
minn Kappillan fis-sena 1711 peress<br />
li kien mill-Imdina u fil-Katidral<br />
kienet teΩisti devozzjoni kbira lejn<br />
l-Assunta. 3 EΩatt fl-1910 meta<br />
kellna lil Dun Stiefnu Zerafa li serva<br />
ta’ Kappillan bejn il-1803 u 1829,<br />
kien beda l-˙sieb biex issir statwa<br />
sabi˙a lil <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong>. FiΩ-Ωmien<br />
dan il-Kappillan kienet teΩisti <strong>Santa</strong><br />
<strong>Marija</strong> liebsa l-˙wejje©. Kienu<br />
tlieta; l-istatwa ta’ Satna <strong>Marija</strong> <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
Imqabba, San Nikola tas-Si©©iewi<br />
u San Lawrenz <strong>tal</strong>-Birgu!<br />
4 Kien fl-1910 meta kellna b˙ala<br />
Kappillan lil Dun Fran©isku Saverju<br />
Bonanno (1906-1922), il-Partit<br />
<strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> kien di©à g˙adda<br />
L-ewwel Kumitat tas-Soçjetà bl-ewwel president ikun is-Sur Feliç Zammit (nofs).<br />
Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V - Mqabba <strong>Festa</strong> 2010<br />
minn ˙afna diffikultajiet, fosthom<br />
fejn kellhom jiltaqg˙u ... g˙ax sa<br />
din id-data di©à kienu biddlu tliet<br />
postijiet. Però fost kollox f’wa˙da<br />
mis-seduti ta’ Ìunju 1910 tnissel<br />
il-˙sieb g˙all-qabar <strong>tal</strong>-fidda ...<br />
mozzjoni mag˙mula minn Leli<br />
Zammit u ssekondata minn Salvu<br />
Balzan (Damjan) u Ìanni Zammit<br />
(Brajnek) u qabel mag˙hom Feliç<br />
Zammit. Din l-idea twettqet sal-<br />
1926, meta ©ie mΩanΩan dan ilkapolavur<br />
lil din il-ma˙buba <strong>Re</strong>©ina<br />
tas-Sema u l-Art, <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong>.<br />
Issa wasalna g˙all-2010 fejn<br />
ser nirre©istraw pa©na ©dida flistorja<br />
ta’ Malta bil-mi©ja fostna<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Papa Benedittu XVI. Pa©na<br />
glorjuΩa li fiha x’wie˙ed jitg˙allem,<br />
kif is-suççessur ta’ San Pietru, ©ie<br />
jΩur il-©Ωira ta’ San Pawl, wara<br />
1950 sena ta’ KristjaneΩmu!<br />
Benedittu XVI narah strumen<strong>tal</strong>i<br />
biex jag˙ti messa©© intelli©enti lil<br />
min g˙andu mo˙˙ u qalb ta’ rieda<br />
tajba, g˙ax qieg˙ed jafferma ru˙u<br />
b˙ala l-aqwa intelletwali denju <strong>tal</strong>millenju<br />
l-©did. Tassew wirt ta’<br />
Kristu?! ... F’din l-epoka, brillanti<br />
fit-teknolo©ija, medjokri f’oqsma<br />
o˙rajn fosthom il-morali, mag˙mula<br />
minn kurrenti ewlenin li jorbtu<br />
ma’ xulxin lajçiΩmu mal-atejiΩmu.<br />
Korrettezza li hi sikwit identifikata<br />
mat-telf tas-sens fundamen<strong>tal</strong>i, li<br />
g˙andu bΩonn il-bniedem. Óafna<br />
jg˙addilhom il-˙sieb – G˙alfejn<br />
qieg˙ed ng˙ix? ... Min fejn tlaqt? ...<br />
Fejn sejjer? ... Hijiex biss il-˙ofra<br />
l-a˙˙ar promozzjoni, fil-qofol taddiskorsi<br />
u l-kitba <strong>tal</strong>-Papa Benedittu<br />
XVI u allura l-lingwa t’Alla mhijiex<br />
il-lingwa <strong>tal</strong>-post, u taΩ-Ωmien li<br />
nsej˙ulha storja?<br />

mill-<strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V fil-festa<br />
ta’ <strong>Marija</strong> Annunzjata nhar il-<br />
Óadd 18 t’April 1946. Dan kien<br />
l-ewwel servizz <strong>tal</strong>-<strong>Banda</strong> barra<br />
mir-ra˙al wara Ωmien daqshekk<br />
qasir <strong>tal</strong>-<strong>Banda</strong> fil-pubbliku li<br />
serva ta’ stimulu qawwi g˙allbanda<br />
u l-bandisti. Fil-fatt<br />
segwew servizzi o˙ra.<br />
7. Fl-1957 is-Soçjetà, bi protesta,<br />
ma ˙aditx sehem fil-festi esterni<br />
ta’ <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong>; allura da˙al<br />
g˙alihom il-kappillan. Ìara li dik<br />
is-sena kien inqalg˙a nuqqas ta’<br />
ftehim serju bejn ir-reffieg˙a <strong>tal</strong>istatwa<br />
u segwentament is-sena<br />
ta’ wara ©ie deçiΩ li s-Soçjetà<br />
tastjeni milli tie˙u sehem filfesta<br />
kemm ta’ barra u ta’ ©ewwa<br />
l-knisja. Fil-festa 1958 kollox<br />
kien jidher li miexi bil-kwiet sa<br />
ma bdiet ˙ier©a l-purçissjoni.<br />
Meta r-refieg˙a (mhux tas-soltu)<br />
bdew ilestu l-istatwa g˙all-<br />
˙ru© fil-knisja qamet g˙ag˙a<br />
ta’ protesta biex l-istatwa ma<br />
tintrefg˙ax; da˙let il-pulizija u<br />
l-festa twaqqfet hemm. Fl-1959<br />
il-festa kienet ristretta g˙allfunzjonijiet<br />
rei©juΩi fil-knisja<br />
biss. Din id-darba rajt id-d˙ul<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-istatwa fin-niçça.<br />
Fl-1960 ©iet espressa mieg˙i jekk<br />
‘fiç-çirkustanzi preΩenti jkunx<br />
a˙jar li l-istatwa ta’ <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong><br />
ma tkunx esposta fil-knisja<br />
matul il-©ranet <strong>tal</strong>-festa.’ Filbidu<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-kwindiçina l-kappillan<br />
<strong>tal</strong>abni nie˙u l-inkarigu <strong>tal</strong>-˙ru©<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-vara min-niçça. Din xejn<br />
ma kienet g˙aΩla ˙afifa g˙ax,<br />
waqt li bl-ebda mod ma ridt<br />
infixkel l-effett <strong>tal</strong>-protesta mis-<br />
Soçjetà ma xtaqtx ner©a’ nara<br />
l-istatwa f’idejn bla esperjenza.<br />
B’g˙ajnuna kompatibli l-istatwa<br />
˙ar©et min-niçça fil-©urnata, ˙in<br />
u espoΩizzjoni pubblika tas-soltu.<br />
Tajjeb ng˙id li min kellu nteress<br />
©ie u ra l-andament tax-xog˙ol.<br />
Issa pproponejt lill-kappillan li,<br />
biex jit˙affef il-˙ru© u d-d˙ul<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-istatwa fin-niçça, ikun sew<br />
li jsir karru bir-roti castors.<br />
Wara li ˙a pariri fuq il-prattiçità<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-proposta, il-kappillan tani<br />
l-inkarigu biex il-karru jsir.<br />
Salvu Ebejer, disinjatur Imqabbi,<br />
g˙amel id-disinn. Avviçinajt<br />
lid-ditta Orlando, ˙addieda minn<br />
Ra˙al Ìdid u Emilio offrieli li<br />
na˙dem il-karru jien fil-˙anut<br />
tag˙hom. Il-pjan kien li l-karru<br />
jkun lest g˙all-ewwel festa iΩda<br />
l-castor wheels waslu tard. Ilkarru<br />
ΩΩanΩan nhar il-Óadd 5<br />
t’Awwissu 1962.<br />
Irrid nirre©istra li tul il-bini<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-karru gawdejt il-konfort<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-ispaΩju, l-inkura©©iment u<br />
l-g˙ajnuna indispensabbli <strong>tal</strong>a˙wa<br />
Emilio u Salvu Orlando.<br />
U dan ©ie mg˙oti gratis.<br />

B’riΩultat fl-Imqabba<br />

kellu jkun flood lighted. Dan<br />
l-iskop g˙adu ma n<strong>tal</strong>˙aqx. Meta<br />
l-iskultur Marco Montebeollo<br />
lesta l-istatwa ta’ Santu Rokku<br />
mill-˙sara <strong>tal</strong>-gwerra l-kappillan<br />
wera x-xewqa li din l-istatwa<br />
tkun f’postha sal-festa. Membri<br />
tas-Soçjetà ©abuha mill-˙anut<br />

fuq il-pedes<strong>tal</strong> maz-zuntier. Fil-<br />
©ranet <strong>tal</strong>-kwindiçina, wara<br />

titqawwa s-sistema elettrika <strong>tal</strong>kaΩin<br />
l-iktar min˙abba Ω-Ωjieda<br />

Ix-xog˙ol kollu sar minn membri<br />

f’dik l-okkaΩjoni xtaqt ng˙ati xi<br />

©nien ing˙ata bi qbiela lil Rosalia<br />
Camilleri u <strong>Marija</strong> Caruana u fl-<br />
1900 <strong>Marija</strong> Vella ˙adet il-qbiela <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
©nien. Fl-1 ta’ Jannar 1901 il-gvern<br />
waqqaf il-qbiela biex jibda l-bini<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-iskola. 2 Il-binja tlestiet fl-1903,<br />
kellha sular wie˙ed b’Ωewg bibien,<br />
entratura u uffiççju kull na˙a, sitt<br />
klassijiet b’kuridur mat-tul kollu li<br />
jwasslek g˙al-bit˙a maqsuma minn<br />
nofs bi kmamar sanitarji kull na˙a.<br />
It-tfal subien u bniet kienu jie˙du<br />
l-brejk fi btie˙i separati. L-g˙add<br />
ta’ tfal tar-ra˙al kien jikkompara<br />
sew mad-daqs <strong>tal</strong>-klassijiet hekk<br />
li ma kienx ikun hemm bΩonn ta’<br />
xi klassi doppja. Jaqbel sew mannumru<br />
ta’ klassijiet l-iskola kellha<br />
kors ta’ sitt snin maqsuma l-ewwel<br />
parti ta’ sentejn u t-tieni taqsima<br />
ta’ erbg˙a snin. L-g˙alliema<br />
kienu jΩommu l-istess klassi g˙al<br />
tul ta’ snin. Semmejt g˙alliema:<br />
nie˙u l-opportunità ng˙id li dak<br />
iΩ-Ωmien konna nirriferu g˙alihom<br />
b˙ala ‘assistenti’ u din kienet ©ejja<br />
mill-fatt li s-Surmast kien meqjus<br />
b˙ala l-g˙alliem <strong>tal</strong>-iskola kollha<br />
b’g˙add ta’ personel jassistuh fittmexxija,<br />
sic: assistenti. Ta’ ˙ames<br />

taΩ-Ωg˙ar u ng˙addu g˙at-taqsima<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-kbar. Nibdew fi Standard I<br />
ta˙t is-Surmast Pawlu Mangion.<br />
Niftehmu, dak iΩ-Ωmien is-surmast<br />
barra l-amministraΩΩjoni <strong>tal</strong>-iskola<br />
kien imexxi klassi. Is-sena ta’ wara fi<br />
Standard II bdejna s-sena skolastika<br />
mas-Sur Michael Zammit minn Óal<br />
Safi. Wara l-ewwel simestru s-Sur<br />
Zammit mar fis-servizz çivili u<br />
komplejna s-sena mas-sur Francis<br />
Bonello mis-Si©©iewi. Fi Standard<br />

(Lonza) Bugeja tispjega l-gradi<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-a©©ettivi. Jispiçça l-kors mas-<br />
Sur Lwi©i Zammit fi Standard IV.<br />
Óafna tfal, l-iktar bniet, kienu jieqfu<br />
mill-iskola hawn. Biex tkompli<br />
kont trid tmur fi skola f’ra˙al ie˙or<br />
jew wa˙da privata.<br />
Ni©i issa biex nikkummenta<br />

il-<strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V irnexxielha<br />
f’dawn l-a˙˙ar snin tibni<br />
relazzjonijiet internazzjonali ferm<br />
tajba ma’ g˙add ta’ baned barranin,<br />
kif ukoll ma’ g˙add ta’ muΩiçisti,<br />
kompoΩituri u surmastrijiet<br />
barranin. Dawn ir-relazzjonijiet, li<br />
raw il-bidu tag˙hom fis-sena 1992<br />
u li komplew jikbru g˙all-a˙˙ar<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-1995 permezz <strong>tal</strong>-˙idma tas-<br />
Sur Alfred Galea, bandist attiv<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-<strong>Banda</strong>, çertament taw u qed<br />

Is-Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong><br />

dejjem ˙asset il-bΩonn u fehmet<br />
li m’g˙andiex tiba’ mag˙luqa filkurituri<br />

permezz <strong>tal</strong>-websajt<br />
uffiçjali tag˙ha www.santamarija.<br />
com lura g˙as-sena 1996, is-Soçjetà<br />
rat kif ser tkabbar ir-relazzjonijiet<br />
tag˙ha barra minn xtutna<br />
speçjalment ma’ kompoΩituri,<br />
surmastrijiet, muΩiçisti u baned<br />

fuq baΩi internazzjonali tmur lura<br />
g˙as-sena 1992 meta s-Soçjetà<br />
kellha b˙ala mistiedna speçjali<br />

grupp ta’ ommijiet flimkien ma’<br />
wliedom refu©jati mill-Bosnja flokkaΩjoni<br />

g˙all-ewwel darba barra minn<br />

tag˙na, bidu mimli suççessi kbar.<br />
Naturalment dan kien ta’ kura©©<br />
kbir ˙alli din il-˙idma tkompli.<br />
U hekk insibu g˙add ©mielu ta’<br />
Baned Barranin o˙rajn li Ωaru<br />

Wara l-1996, seta’ jkollna fostna<br />

Concert Band mill-IΩrael, filwaqt<br />

Minbarra dawn il-relazzjonijiet<br />
ma’ baned barranin, irnexxielna<br />
wkoll nibdew kuntatti ma’ xi<br />
Surmastrijiet, KompoΩituri u<br />
MuΩiçisti barranin. Dan qieg˙ed<br />
iservi sabiex il-<strong>Banda</strong> tag˙na,<br />
minbarra li titg˙allem millesperjenza<br />
ta’ dawn il-persuni,<br />
tirçievi g˙add ta’ muΩika<br />

Kristu <strong>Re</strong> fuq il-fosos <strong>tal</strong>-Furjana,<br />

Xhieda ta’ 300 sena<br />
devozzjoni lejn<br />
San Pawl fl-Imqabba<br />
Wara li s-sena l-o˙ra l-Knisja<br />
madwar id-dinja kollha ççelebrat<br />
l-2000 sena mit-twelid ta’ San<br />
Pawl, din is-sena l-Knisja f’PajjiΩna<br />
qed tiççelebra l-1950 sena minn<br />
mindu l-appostlu <strong>tal</strong>-©nus wasal<br />
f’Malta fi triqtu lejn Ruma. Huwa<br />
xieraq g˙alhekk, li f’din l-okkaΩjoni<br />
speçjali nfittxu li nsiru nafu xi ftit<br />
aktar dwar dan il-qaddis kbir, li<br />
flimkien ma’ <strong>Marija</strong> Assunta huwa<br />
patrun ta’ Malta; u ma’ dan it-tag˙rif<br />
dwaru nanalizzaw ftit id-devozzjoni<br />
li kellhom missirijietna l-Imqabbin<br />
lejh.<br />
Pawlu ta’ Tarsu:<br />
minn persekutur g˙al<br />
appostlu<br />
Il-ftit li nafu dwar il-˙ajja ta’<br />
San Pawl qabel il-©rajja fit-triq ta’<br />
Damasku ©ej minn dak li jikteb hu<br />
stess fl-ittri tieg˙u u minn xi kliem<br />
li jg˙id fil-ktieb <strong>tal</strong>-Atti <strong>tal</strong>-Appostli.<br />
Nafu li kien çittadin Ruman (Atti 22,<br />
26-28) imwieled f’Tarsu (Atti 21, 39)<br />
minn familja mit-tribù ta’ Benjamin<br />
(Fil. 3, 5) u li meta kien Ωg˙ir tg˙allem<br />
is-seng˙a <strong>tal</strong>-˙jata tat-tined (Atti 18,<br />
3). Nafu wkoll li ta’ età Ωg˙ira kien<br />
mar Ìerusalemm jitg˙allem il-Li©i<br />
Lhudija ming˙and Gamaljel (Atti 22,<br />
3) u li kien fost l-a˙jar studenti. Kellu<br />
Ωew© ismijiet: Sawl u Pawlu, l-ewwel<br />
wie˙ed kien b’referenza g˙all-ewwel<br />
sultan <strong>tal</strong>-Lhud, Sawl, li kien ukoll<br />
mit-tribù ta’ Benjamin; it-tieni isem<br />
kien l-isem Latin li kien ikollu kull<br />
çittadin Ruman. Il-fatt li minn wara<br />
l-konverΩjoni ma jissejja˙x aktar<br />
Sawlu, imma biss Pawlu, huwa<br />
wie˙ed mis-sinjali <strong>tal</strong>-‘˙ajja ©dida’<br />
li kien beda, kif ukoll l-g˙aΩla tieg˙u<br />
li jkun eqreb lejn il-pagani milli lejn<br />
il-Lhud.<br />
Mir-rakkont <strong>tal</strong>-martirju ta’ San<br />
Stiefnu, li se˙˙ lejn is-sena 39 w.K.<br />
nafu li Sawlu kien Ωag˙Ωug˙ (Atti<br />
7, 59). Skont it-tradizzjoni Lhudija<br />
Ωag˙Ωug˙ huwa ra©el ta’ bejn g˙oxrin<br />
u erbg˙in sena, g˙alhekk, ladarba<br />
nifhmu li Pawlu miet lejn is-sena 67<br />
w.K. l-istudjuΩi <strong>tal</strong>-Bibbja ja˙sbu li<br />
fi Ωmien il-mewt ta’ Stiefnu, Pawlu<br />
kellu madwar tletin sena, b’hekk iddata<br />
tat-twelid tieg˙u hija ma˙suba<br />
li kienet lejn is-sena 9 w.K.<br />
Ir-ra©uni li huwa stess jag˙ti<br />
g˙ala kien jippersegwita l-insara hija<br />
min˙abba l-im˙abba li kellu lejn il-<br />
fidi Lhudija, li kienet qed tirriskja li<br />
ti©i mtebbg˙a u meqruda min˙abba<br />
l-innovazzjoni <strong>tal</strong>-Fidi nisranija (Fil<br />
3, 6). IΩda fi triqtu lejn Damasku<br />
Pawlu kellu esperjenza mistika li fiha<br />
ltaqa’ ma’ Kristu (Atti 9, 1-19; Gal 1,<br />
12-15). Wara li tg˙ammed u tfejjaq<br />
mill-g˙ama li ©arrab fil-viΩjoni,<br />
Pawlu beda jxandar lil Ìesù Kristu<br />
b˙ala iben Alla, u g˙al xi Ωmien mar<br />
fl-G˙arabja biex jimmedita aktar fuq<br />
il-Kotba Mqaddsa (Gal 1, 17). Minn<br />
hemm beda l-inkwiet mal-Lhud li<br />
ppruvaw i˙a©©ruh kemm-il darba.<br />
Huwa fittex li jiltaqa’ mal-<br />
Appostli, imma minn dawk ra biss<br />
lil Pietru (Gal 1, 18). Mill-kuntatt li<br />
kellu mal-kap <strong>tal</strong>-Appostli minn dak<br />
iΩ-Ωmien ’il quddiem, ©ie deçiΩ li<br />

Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V - Mqabba <strong>Festa</strong> 2010<br />
Pawlu jwassal il-Bxara t-Tajba lillpagani<br />
waqt li Pietru jkompli l-˙idma<br />
tieg˙u fost il-Lhud. Minn hemm<br />
Pawlu beda t-tliet vja©©i missjunarji<br />
l-kbar tieg˙u, li saru bejn is-snin<br />
45-57 w.K. Matul dawn il-vja©©i<br />
nistg˙u ng˙idu li Pawlu, flimkien<br />
mal-assistenti tieg˙u Ìwanni Marku<br />
u Barnaba, dar il-Lvant nofsani<br />
kollu, mill-Greçja sal-Afrika ta’ fuq<br />
kif ukoll il-pajjiΩi kollha ta’ madwar<br />
l-art ta’ IΩrael.<br />
Wara dawn il-vja©©i, li kollha<br />
spiççaw f’Ìerusalemm fejn hu<br />
kien jag˙ti kont lill-Knisja ta’<br />
xog˙lu, huwa ©ie arrestat mil-Lhud<br />
li akkuΩawh li da˙˙al il-pagani<br />
fit-Tempju. B˙ala çittadin Ruman<br />
Pawlu appella li jidher quddiem<br />
Çesri, u g˙alhekk intbag˙at pri©unier<br />
lejn Ruma. Matul dan il-vja©© Pawlu<br />
nnawfra©a Malta. Wara li wasal<br />
Ruma, nafu li kellu post mikri u li fih<br />
seta’ jilqa’ lin-nies biex jg˙allimhom<br />
bla tfixkil (Atti 28, 30-31). Il-ktieb<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Atti <strong>tal</strong>-Appostli jispiçça hemm.<br />
Minn dak iΩ-Ωmien ma nafux fiççert<br />
x’©ara; nafu xi episodji Ωg˙ar<br />
li jissemmew fl-ittri privati li hu<br />
bag˙at lil Filemon, lil Titu u lil<br />
Timotju. Nafu li minn Ruma n˙eles<br />
g˙ax lil Filemon jg˙idlu li sejjer<br />
jarah. Jissemmew xi vja©©i Ωg˙ar li<br />
g˙amel wara li telaq minn Ruma, fost<br />
dawn hemm min ja˙seb li mar anke<br />
sa Spanja, kif kien wera l-˙sieb li<br />
jag˙mel fl-ittra lir-Rumani (Rum 15,<br />
24. 28). Fl-ewwel ittra lil Timotju<br />
(1 Tim 3, 14-15) hu jsemmi li kellu<br />
jmur fl-Asja u meta kien hemm<br />
b’xi mod se˙˙ l-a˙˙ar arrest tieg˙u<br />
©ewwa Efesu, g˙ax fit-tieni ittra lil<br />
Timotju jitolbu jing˙aqad mieg˙u<br />
u biex i©iblu mieg˙u xi affarijiet li<br />
kien ˙alla warajh u li kellu bΩonn.<br />

Minn hemm intbag˙at Ruma fejn ˙a<br />
l-martirju fl-a˙˙ar snin <strong>tal</strong>-imperu<br />
ta’ Neruni. Il-post <strong>tal</strong>-martirju huwa<br />
Aquæ Salviæ, illum mag˙ruf b˙ala<br />
Tre Fontane g˙ax skont it-tradizzjoni<br />
ras San Pawl qabΩet tliet darbiet fuq<br />

fejn misset ˙ar©u tliet g˙ejun ta’<br />

Minkejja li apparti l-Imdina<br />

ddedikati lil San Pawl (ir-Rabat, Óal<br />

kienu f’posthom fil-knisja l-©dida li<br />
kienet qed tinbena. 2 Fl-1693 nafu li<br />
l-kor, il-koppla u l-kappelluni kienu<br />
lesti, bil-kwadri rispettivi tag˙hom<br />
f’posthom, waqt li <strong>tal</strong>-ViΩitazzjoni<br />
u <strong>tal</strong>-Ispirtu s-Santu (li dak iΩ-Ωmien<br />
kienu g˙adhom l-antiki, wie˙ed<br />
jinsab fis-sagristija u l-ie˙or fissala<br />
fejn jintrefa’ l-armar <strong>tal</strong>-knisja)<br />
kienu g˙adhom fil-knisja l-qadima. 3<br />
L-istess isqof g˙amel viΩta pastorali<br />
fl-1699 li minnha nafu li l-knisja<br />
l-©dida kienet lesta. IΩ-Ωew© altari<br />
l-©odda, li eventwalment saru ta’<br />
San Antnin u ta’ San Pawl ma<br />
jissemmewx. Dan ifisser li l-post<br />
g˙alihom kien im˙ejji (ladabra l-bini<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-knisja kien lest) imma kienu<br />
g˙adhom ma ng˙atawx it-titlu. Filfatt<br />
dak ta’ San Antnin ˙a l-isem<br />
fl-1703, grazzi g˙all-benefatturi<br />
Maria u Antonia Agius li l-arma<br />
tag˙hom g˙adha tidher skulturata<br />
fil-prospettiva <strong>tal</strong>-ar<strong>tal</strong>, waqt li dak<br />
ta’ San Pawl t˙allas mill-poplu <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
Imqabba fl-1710, 4 eΩattament tliet<br />
mitt sena ilu.<br />
Forsi mhix kumbinazzjoni li dik<br />
is-sena ˙abtet l-1650 sena mill-mi©ja<br />
ta’ San Pawl f’Malta. Nassumi li dan<br />
l-ar<strong>tal</strong> bil-kwadru tieg˙u kien speçi<br />
ta’ ‘monument Pawlin’ fil-knisja<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Imqabba biex jimmarka dan<br />
l-anniversarju. Minkejja li m’hemm<br />
xejn dokumentat, hemm Ωew© punti<br />
li jwassluni g˙al din l-ipoteΩi:<br />
• L-ewwel nett hemm il-fatt li filknisja<br />
kien hemm ar<strong>tal</strong> li kien<br />
ilu aktar minn g˙axar snin bla<br />
titlu, probabbilment g˙ax ma<br />
nqala’ ˙add li kien lest li j˙allas<br />
biex isirlu kwadru u biex fuqu<br />
jibda jitqaddes il-quddies. Dan<br />
probabbilment wassal biex<br />
il-kappillan ta’ dak iΩ-Ωmien,<br />
Dun Enriku Cuschieri, ried<br />
isib xi skuΩa biex dan l-ar<strong>tal</strong><br />
ma jibqax bat<strong>tal</strong>. Waslet sena<br />
anniversarja u g˙alhekk ˙e©©e©<br />
lill-poplu biex kul˙add jag˙ti<br />
xi ˙a©a Ωg˙ira biex l-ar<strong>tal</strong> ilvojt<br />
jinbidel f’sinjal ta’ qima<br />
lejn il-patrun ta’ Malta li 1650<br />
sena qabel ©ab il-Fidi nisranija<br />
f’PajjiΩna. InΩommu f’mo˙˙na<br />
li skont Dun Lawrenz Zammit<br />
l-ar<strong>tal</strong> sar a spejjeΩ <strong>tal</strong>-poplu.<br />

• It-tieni (u din hija purament<br />
ipoteΩi estetika li tista’ tkun<br />
Ωbaljata): jekk ninnutaw sewwa<br />
dan huwa l-uniku ar<strong>tal</strong> filknisja<br />
tag˙na li ma fih l-ebda<br />
referenza Marjana fih. Óamsa<br />
mill-ar<strong>tal</strong>i <strong>tal</strong>-knisja huma<br />
marbutin ma’ episodji mill-<br />
˙ajja <strong>tal</strong>-Madonna (it-Tnissil,<br />
il-ViΩitazzjoni, l-Assunzjoni<br />
u l-Inkurunazzjoni) jew ma’<br />
xi devozzjoni (tar-RuΩarju).<br />
Tlett ar<strong>tal</strong>i o˙ra, minkejja<br />
li m’humiex strettament<br />
‘marjani’, jippreΩentaw il-figura<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Madonna b’mod prominenti<br />
(l-Agunija, Pentekoste u<br />
l-Madonna ma’ San Gejtanu<br />
u San Antnin). Dan ta’ San<br />
Pawl huwa sui generis, qisu<br />
m’g˙andu xejn x’jaqsam malbqija<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-knisja. KwaΩi nistg˙u<br />
ng˙idu li ‘jistona’. Dan ikompli<br />
jsa˙˙a˙ il-possibilità li tpo©©a<br />
hemm g˙al ra©uni speçifika<br />
˙afna, u d-data ta’<br />
meta tpo©©a kif<br />
ukoll il-fatt li t˙allas<br />
mill-poplu kollu,<br />
jag˙tuna x’nifhmu<br />
li din ir-ra©uni<br />
kienet l-anniversarju<br />

niddubita kemm nies<br />
jag˙tu kaΩu.<br />
Mill-viΩti pastorali<br />
li saru wara nafu xi ftit jew wisq<br />
l-attività li kienet marbuta ma’ dan<br />
l-ar<strong>tal</strong>. L-isqof Alpheran de Bussan<br />
li Ωar il-knisja fl-1745, sab dan<br />
l-ar<strong>tal</strong> fi stat tajjeb ˙afna u jg˙id li<br />
kellu dak kollu li kien me˙tie© g˙allkult<br />
litur©iku. Kellu wkoll lampier<br />
jixg˙el quddiemu. Fuqu kienu ji©u<br />
ççelebrati Ωew© festi, wa˙da fil-21<br />
ta’ Jannar f’©ie˙ San Publju u l-o˙ra<br />
fl-10 ta’ Frar f’jum is-solennità tan-<br />
Nawfra©ju ta’ San Pawl. Kull sena,<br />
fis-26 ta’ Awissu, fuq dan l-ar<strong>tal</strong><br />
kienet issir tifkira b’suffra©ju ta’ Dun<br />
Enrico Cuschieri, il-kappillan li fi<br />
Ωmienu sar dan l-ar<strong>tal</strong>. Din it-tifkira<br />
kienet issir b’quddiesa kantata bilkant<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-libera, bit-tberik <strong>tal</strong>-qabar,<br />
bid-daqq <strong>tal</strong>-qniepen u bil-mixg˙ela<br />
ta’ erba’ xemg˙at fuq dan l-ar<strong>tal</strong>.<br />
Barra din tas-26 ta’ Awwissu kienu<br />
wkoll ji©u offruti tlett quddisiet o˙ra<br />
g˙al ru˙ Dun Enrico Cuschieri u<br />
dawn kienu jsiru wa˙da fil-festa ta’<br />
San Publju, o˙ra fil-konverΩjoni ta’<br />
San Pawl u o˙ra fis-solennità tannawfra©ju.<br />
Il-prokuratur <strong>tal</strong>-Veneranda<br />

kif ukoll iç-çelebrazzjoni ta’ tliet<br />
quddisiet li kienu jsiru permezz ta’<br />
legat im˙olli minn TereΩa Cuschieri<br />
fl-atti tan-nutar Injazju Debono <strong>tal</strong>-<br />

ViΩitazzjoni u o˙ra fil-festa ta’ <strong>Santa</strong><br />

Il-pittura tieg˙u, li hija xog˙ol<br />
tajjeb ta’ artist mhux mag˙ruf, imma<br />
li jfakkar ix-xog˙ol ta’ Michele<br />
Busuttil li kien attiv fis-seklu XVIII,<br />
tirrappreΩenta l-konsagrazzjoni ta’<br />
Publju b˙ala l-ewwel isqof Malti.<br />
EΩatt fiç-çentru <strong>tal</strong>-pittura jidhru<br />
l-buqari taΩ-Ωjut li jintuΩaw filkonsgrazzjoni<br />
ta’ isqof. Tiddomina<br />
fuqhom hemm il-figura ta’ San<br />
Pawl, b’id fuq ras Publju li jinsab<br />
g˙arkubbtejh quddiemu, u b’id<br />
l-o˙ra jΩomm ix-xabla, simbolu <strong>tal</strong>martirju<br />
li kellu jie˙u ’l quddiem.<br />
Pawlu liebes ilbies bil-kuluri li<br />
mdorrijin narawh: libsa ˙adra u<br />
mantell a˙mar. Publju mill-banda<br />
l-o˙ra liebes ilbies litur©iku: kamΩu<br />
abjad flimkien ma’ stola u kappa<br />
lewn id-deheb. Kull wie˙ed minn<br />
dawn il-persuna©©i g˙andu tliet<br />
figuri warajh. Publju g˙andu ra©el<br />
iΩomm ktieb li donnu qed juri lil San<br />
Pawl minnfejn g˙andu jaqra – dan<br />
forsi li hu San Luqa, li s-soltu jkun<br />

rappreΩentat bi ktieb jew b’ikona<br />
f’idu –, imbag˙ad hemm Ωag˙Ωug˙<br />
qed iΩomm il-baklu u ˙jiel ta’ ra©el<br />
ie˙or qed i˙ares. Pawlu g˙andu<br />
warajh Ωew©t ir©iel o˙ra jitkellmu<br />
bejniethom u persuna©© liebes elmu<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-gwerra u ilbies partikulari, li<br />
nassumi li hu ç-çenturjun Ruman,<br />
qieg˙ed iΩomm bastun f’idejh.<br />
Imbag˙ad quddiem Pawlu hemm<br />
tfajjel g˙arkubbtejh iΩomm fuq platt<br />
il-mitra. Ix-xena tidher qed isse˙˙<br />
©o kamra ta’ xi palazz, quddiem<br />
tieqa jew terazzin li minnu jidher<br />
pajsa©© bis-si©ar. Fil-parti ta’ fuq,<br />
imbag˙ad, ix-xena donnha tinfeta˙<br />
g˙as-sema, b’xi an©li qed i˙arsu<br />
fer˙anin lejn dak li qed ji©ri. Dan ilpartikular<br />
jidher f’Ωew© pitturi o˙ra<br />
li jinsabu fil-knisja tag˙na: il-pittura<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-ViΩitazzjoni u dik li xi dabra<br />
kienet is-sottokwadru ta’ dan l-istess<br />
ar<strong>tal</strong>: il-Madonna <strong>tal</strong>-Karmnu. 6<br />
Minkejja li dal-kwadru fih ˙afna<br />
Ωbalji (b˙al ng˙idu a˙na l-istil<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-ilbies ta’ Publju li ma<br />
bediex jintuΩa hekk qabel ilmedjuevu,<br />
kif ukoll il-mitra<br />
u l-baklu, l-uΩu <strong>tal</strong>-ktieb<br />
litur©iku li minnu qed jaqra<br />
San Pawl u l-ilbies militari<br />

huwa kwadru li fih armonija<br />

b’mod verament sabi˙.<br />
Jekk il-kwadru huwa<br />
sabi˙, l-istess u aktar nistg˙u<br />

©o gwarniçun <strong>tal</strong>-©ebel skulturat u fuq<br />
kull na˙a g˙andu kolonna mnaqqxa fi<br />
stil sempliçi. Fil-parti t’isfel ta’ kull<br />
kolonna hemm imnaqqxa fil-©ebel<br />
l-arma ta’ San Publju: mitra bi ˙jiel<br />
ta’ palma warajha. M’hemmx ar<strong>tal</strong>i<br />

mal-kolonni. Mal-faççata <strong>tal</strong>-baΩi li<br />
fuqha hemm iserr˙u l-kolonni hemm<br />
imnaqqxa l-arma ta’ San Pawl: issejf<br />

<strong>tal</strong>-©ebel hemm pittura Ωg˙ira, li<br />
tidher li hija xog˙ol l-istess artist,<br />
li turi l-mument drammatiku meta<br />
San Pawl ifarfar il-lifg˙a fin-nar<br />
(avolja n-nar ma jidhirx!). Madwar<br />
il-figura ta’ Pawlu jidhru bosta nies<br />
i˙arsu mistag˙©ba, fosthom anke<br />
ç-çenturjun li jidher ukoll fil-kwadru<br />
l-kbir. Fiç-çentru <strong>tal</strong>-pittura jidher<br />
il-©ifen qed jitfarrak mal-blat waqt<br />
li fin-na˙a ta’ fuq jidher an©lu Ωg˙ir<br />
itir b’xabla jew virga f’idu.<br />
Il-mensa <strong>tal</strong>-altar hija <strong>tal</strong>-ir˙am<br />
a˙dar skur u fin-nofs tag˙ha hemm<br />
medaljun bl-arma ta’ San Pawl.<br />
Matul il-©ranet <strong>tal</strong>-festa din titg˙atta<br />
b’ventar<strong>tal</strong> <strong>tal</strong>-injam indurat bissimbolu<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Madonna rrakmat biddebeb<br />
fuq il-lama. 7 B’xorti ˙aΩina,<br />
u dan huwa ta’ g˙ajb kbir g˙alina,<br />
fil-©ranet <strong>tal</strong>-festa dan l-ar<strong>tal</strong> jibqa’<br />
bil-gandlieri ta’ kuljum g˙ax<br />
m’g˙andux gandlieri <strong>tal</strong>-me<strong>tal</strong>l<br />
abjad biex jintuΩaw fl-okkaΩjonijiet<br />
speçjali <strong>tal</strong>-parroçça tag˙na, b˙alma<br />
huwa l-kaΩ <strong>tal</strong>-altar ta’quddiemu kif<br />
ukoll <strong>tal</strong>-ar<strong>tal</strong> <strong>tal</strong>-Assunta, l-aktar<br />
ar<strong>tal</strong> importanti <strong>tal</strong>-knisja wara<br />
l-ma©©ur.<br />
Ix-xbieha pawlina l-o˙ra li nsibu<br />
fil-knisja hija l-istatwa minn sett ta’<br />
sitta li jintramaw fuq l-ar<strong>tal</strong> ma©©ur<br />
fil-festi <strong>tal</strong>-parroçça. Din l-istatwa<br />
hija <strong>tal</strong>-kartapesta u saret mal-o˙rajn<br />
matul is-seklu XIX – dan nafuh<br />
g˙ax f’ritratt <strong>tal</strong>-knisja armata g˙allfesta<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-1896 is-sett jidher armat<br />
fuq l-ar<strong>tal</strong>. Fil-bidu tas-seklu XX<br />
kien sar sett ta’ tnax-il appostlu,<br />
fosthom statwa ta’ San Pawl, li kien<br />
iΩejjen l-ar<strong>tal</strong> ma©©ur fil-festa ta’<br />
<strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> biss, iΩda dan inqered<br />
fil-gwerra. Is-sett l-antik li g˙adu<br />
jintuΩa qieg˙ed fi bΩonn serju ta’<br />
restawr.<br />
In-niçeç ta’ San Pawl<br />
fl-Imqabba<br />
Fir-ra˙al tag˙na nsibu Ωew© niçeç<br />
iddedikatati lil dan il-Patrun tag˙na<br />
l-Maltin. Interessanti li t-tnejn<br />
jinsabu fit-truf <strong>tal</strong>-ra˙al.<br />
Forsi l-aktar wa˙da mag˙rufa hija<br />
dik li tinsab fil-bini ta’ wara d-da˙la<br />
g˙all-katakombi <strong>tal</strong>-Mentna. Id-dar<br />
li mag˙ha tinsab hija ferm antika,<br />
imma dan ma jfissirx neçessarjament<br />
li n-niçça hija antika daqsha. Id-<br />
disinn huwa sempliçi, b’Ωew©<br />
pilastri qed iserr˙u fuq pavaljun<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-©ebel bin-niçça bejniethom. Fuq<br />
dawn imbag˙ad hemm gwarniç<br />
Ωg˙ir ie˙or. L-istatwa, li mhix ta’<br />
xi ©miel kbir, tinsab fuq pedes<strong>tal</strong>l<br />
kwadru u turi lil San Pawl wieqaf<br />
b’id merfug˙a u bl-o˙ra jΩomm<br />
ktieb miftu˙ u xabla. Jing˙ad li din<br />
saret lejn tmiem is-seklu XIX minn<br />
ra©el mir-Rabat u ˙abib tieg˙u li<br />
kienu ji©u ja˙dmu l-g˙elieqi ta’<br />
dawk l-in˙awi. 8 Fl-img˙oddi kellha<br />
çerta devozzjoni u fil-fatt fl-10 ta’<br />
Frar kienet tiΩΩejjen. Sa madwar<br />
˙mistax-il sena ilu kienet g˙adha fuq<br />
il-©ebla, imbag˙ad ing˙atat il-kulur.<br />
L-istatwa l-o˙ra ta’ San Pawl li<br />
nsibu fl-Imqabba tinsab fit-tarf tax-<br />
xaqliba l-o˙ra tar-ra˙al, appuntu<br />
f’kantuniera <strong>tal</strong>-palazz anness mat-<br />
Torri Vincenti, li nbena fl-1726 mill-<br />
Prijur Orfeo de Vincenzo. 9 Mhux<br />
mag˙ruf jekk l-istatwa tpo©©ietx<br />
hemm meta nbena l-kumpless, li<br />
or©inarjament kien iservi b˙ala kaΩin<br />
tan-nies <strong>tal</strong>-Ordni. 10 Li hu Ωgur hu li<br />
n-niçça hija ftit kbira g˙all-istatwa<br />
ta’ ©o fiha, g˙alhekk jista’ jkun li<br />
kien hemm il-˙sieb li titpo©©a statwa<br />
ikbar, jew inkella li fil-fatt kien<br />
hemm statwa ikbar imma mbag˙ad<br />
inbidlet. Mill-fdalijiet taΩ-Ωebg˙a li<br />
hemm fuqha nafu li din l-istatwa flimg˙oddi<br />
kienet miΩbug˙a: il-libsa<br />
ta’ San Pawl kienet ˙adra waqt li<br />
l-mant kien a˙mar skur. Ma jidher<br />
li hemm l-ebda fdalijiet ta’ Ωebg˙a<br />
fuq ir-ras. Hija statwa artistika aktar<br />
mill-o˙ra li tinsab qrib il-katakombi,<br />
iΩda tidher li ©arrbet ˙afna ˙sarat<br />
Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V - Mqabba <strong>Festa</strong> 2010<br />
min˙abba t-temp u min˙abba atti<br />
vandali. L-id l-img˙ollija <strong>tal</strong>-qaddis<br />
hija nieqsa u jing˙ad li tkissret<br />
minn sparatura ta’ kaççatur lejn ilbidu<br />
tas-seklu g˙oxrin. 11 In-niçça<br />
hija eleganti ˙afna u fiha disinn ta’<br />
arzella fin-na˙a ta’ fuq – dan iddisinn<br />
jidher tajjeb ˙afna peress li<br />
l-istatwa ma tg˙attihx min˙abba li<br />
hi kemmxejn Ωg˙ira g˙ad-daqs tanniçça.<br />
Ta˙tha hemm ir˙ama li tg˙id<br />
li fl-20 ta’ Novembru 1894 l-Isqof<br />
Pietru Pace ta 40 jum indul©enza lil<br />
min jg˙id xi <strong>tal</strong>b quddiem ix-xbieha.<br />
Il-grampun li g˙ad hemm jidher ftit ’l<br />
isfel min-niçça jixhed li fl-img˙oddi<br />
kien hemm fanal quddiemha, b’hekk<br />
nistg˙u ng˙idu li xi devozzjoni<br />
kienet tgawdi wkoll.<br />
G˙eluq<br />
Din kienet ˙arsa ˙afifa lejn iddevozzjoni<br />
pawlina f’ra˙alna. Minn<br />
dan kollu li semmejna, Ωgur li l-aktar<br />
importanti huwa l-ar<strong>tal</strong> fil-knisja<br />
parrokkjali <strong>tal</strong>-Assunta li jixhed<br />
li kienet ix-xewqa <strong>tal</strong>-poplu li flaktar<br />
post qaddis u g˙aΩiΩ g˙alihom<br />
ida˙˙lu wkoll tifkira <strong>tal</strong>-qaddis, li<br />
flimkien ma’ <strong>Marija</strong> Assunta, huwa<br />

Il-kaΩin kien armat bil-bandalori<br />

kien ra dawk l-affarijiet u allura<br />
kienu dawn li ressquh pass pass lejn<br />

ÌuΩepp kien dilettant kbir <strong>tal</strong>log˙ob<br />

l-iskola <strong>tal</strong>-muΩika tas-Soçjetà<br />
tag˙na.<br />
Leonard, jew a˙jar kif l-aktar<br />
konna nafuh, Nardu, twieled nhar is-<br />
26 ta’ Lulju 1931 u kien iben Joseph<br />
u <strong>Marija</strong> <strong>Re</strong>©ina, xebba Scicluna.<br />
IΩΩewwe© lil martu Mansi nhar<br />
is-6 ta’ Novembru 1956. Kellhom<br />
erbat itfal: Joseph, Gina, Mario u<br />
Susan. Óadem g˙al aktar minn 30<br />
sena mad-Dipartiment <strong>tal</strong>-Posta.<br />
Kien ra©el iddedikat ferm lejn ilfamilja<br />
tant li kien lest jag˙mel kull<br />
sagrifiççju me˙tie©. Wara ©urnata<br />
xog˙ol il-Posta kont tarah jibqa’<br />
sejjer ikompli ja˙dem xi xog˙ol<br />
fil-©ebel u mbag˙ad filg˙axija jmur<br />
idoqq f’xi tie©.<br />
Tg˙allem idoqq il-Kurunetta<br />
fil-Óamrun g˙and Mro. Twanny<br />
Chircop, li ji©i ˙u t-tenur ta’ fama<br />
mondjali, Oreste. Matul il-karriera<br />
muΩikali tieg˙u tista’ tg˙id li daqq<br />
mal-baned kollha Maltin. Kien<br />
ukoll imfittex biex idoqq malorkestra<br />
fil-knejjes. Fil-Ìimg˙a<br />
l-Kbira, ©eneralment kien idoqq<br />
©ewwa Óal-G˙axaq u Ω-Ûejtun.<br />
Jiem ta’ impenn muΩikali g˙al<br />
Nardu kienu jkunu Ωgur dawk <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
Karnival. Allegra wkoll ˙afna nies<br />
waqt g˙add ta’ ti©ijiet, flimkien<br />
mal-orkestri ta’ Jimmy Dowling u<br />
Julio Tanti. Però l-aktar g˙al qalb<br />
Nardu kienet bla dubju l-<strong>Banda</strong><br />
<strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V u warajha l-<strong>Banda</strong><br />
Queen Victoria taΩ-Ûurrieq, fejn<br />
g˙amel ˙afna snin idoqq Kurunetta<br />
Solista. Il-muΩika kien je˙odha b’<br />
serjetà kbira. Daqq sa˙ansitra barra<br />
minn Malta, ©ewwa l-Awstralja<br />
fost l-emigranti Maltin. L-arti u<br />
l-muΩika kienu ©o qalb Nardu.<br />
Fi ˙dan is-Soçjetà tista’ tg˙id<br />
involva ru˙u f’kull qasam. Kien<br />
fil-kumitat fejn serva anke b˙ala<br />
President u aktar tard President<br />
Onorarju. FiΩ-Ωog˙Ωija tieg˙u kien<br />
membru <strong>tal</strong>-g˙aqda tan-nar. Kien<br />
ukoll jag˙mel parti attiva mal-grupp<br />
tejatrali Aurora. Min jaf kemm daqq<br />
il-kurunetta waqt it-teatrin u min jaf<br />
kemm organizza kompetizzjonijiet<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-kant ©ewwa s-sala prinçipali <strong>tal</strong>kaΩin.<br />
Però l-aktar ˙a©a g˙al qalbu fis-<br />
Soçjetà kienet bla dubju l-<strong>Banda</strong>:<br />
it-tieni familja tieg˙u kienet<br />
tista’ tg˙id li hi l-<strong>Banda</strong>. Nardu<br />
regolarment kien jis˙aq li: “Il-<br />
KaΩin huwa <strong>tal</strong>-<strong>Banda</strong>. G˙alhekk<br />
fil-KaΩin il-muΩika g˙andu jkollha<br />
l-ewwel prijorità. Il-<strong>Banda</strong> g˙andha<br />
tkun is-Sinsla tas-Soçjetà”. Nardu<br />
sal-a˙˙ar mumenti ta’ ˙ajtu kien<br />
jemmen li: “Jekk g˙andek g˙al<br />
qalbek il-©id tas-Soçjetà ridt tibni<br />
pedament sod g˙all-<strong>Banda</strong>, permezz<br />
tat-tag˙lim kontinwu u r-rispett <strong>tal</strong>bandisti<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-post”. Kien spiss jghid:<br />
“Daqs kemm i˙oss bandist <strong>tal</strong>-post<br />
g˙all-banda tieg˙u, ma jista’ j˙oss<br />
l-ebda bandist iehor li jkun qed ji©i<br />
maqlug˙ bil-flus”. Nardu kien jaf<br />
dan mill-esperjenza tieg˙u mal-<br />
Baned. Bandist <strong>tal</strong>-post mg˙allem<br />
sew muΩikalment iΩda li jkollu<br />
fil-vini tieg˙u ji©ri d-demm ta’<br />
Mqabbi ©ej minn familja li dejjem<br />
kienet qrib il-kaΩin u l-festa ta’<br />
<strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> tag˙mel id-differenza<br />
kollha. Nardu dejjem sa˙aq li<br />
l-<strong>Banda</strong> tkun mibnija madwar<br />
l-element Imqabbi. Fit-trufijiet<br />
dejjem ried li jkun hemm Bandisti<br />
Mqabbin !!<br />
Nardu ˙adem ˙afna biex ilbanda<br />
tibqa’ ˙ajja b’mod speçjali<br />
wara li ˙afna mill-bandisti emigraw<br />
fis-snin sittin. Kien jemmen ˙afna<br />
fit-tag˙lim u nistg˙u ng˙idu li fis-<br />
Soçjetà Ωera çertu m˙abba u flistess<br />
˙in dixxiplina sabiex dak<br />
kollu li g˙andu x’jaqsam mal-<br />
<strong>Banda</strong> jittie˙ed bl-akbar serjetà.<br />
Minbarra dan, kellu wkoll pinna<br />
muΩikali tajba u l-melodiji li kien<br />
juΩa fil-marçi li kkompona kienu<br />
tieg˙u biss! Jekk l-Innu Març<br />
“<strong>Marija</strong> Assunta” huwa t-timbru<br />
ta’ Nardu b˙ala kompoΩitur <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
Marçi <strong>tal</strong>-widna, il-Març Funebri<br />
tieg˙u “Tislima” juri s-sensittività<br />
muΩikali kbira li kellu.<br />
Nardu baqa’ j˙obb il-<strong>Banda</strong><br />
sal-a˙˙ar nifs ta’ ˙ajtu. Min˙abba<br />
sa˙˙tu kellu kontra qalbu jieqaf<br />
idoqq. Però xorta wa˙da baqa’<br />
jinΩel il-kaΩin g˙all-kunçert. Ma<br />
kienx joqg˙od ming˙ajr ma’ jara<br />
kif inhi sejra l-banda. Kien ˙a gost<br />
˙afna meta sar jaf li l-banda kienet<br />
ser issiefer l-I<strong>tal</strong>ja. Ma kellux ixxorti<br />

kellu jara l-<strong>Banda</strong> tag˙mel dak issuççess<br />

Il-Universal Joint<br />
Rivoluzzjoni fil-log˙ob tan-Nar <strong>tal</strong>-Art<br />
L-Imqabba sa minn dejjem<br />
kienet mag˙rufa madwar il-gΩejjer<br />
Maltin g˙al-log˙ob tan-nar kemm<br />
dak <strong>tal</strong>-ajru kif ukoll <strong>tal</strong>-art mag˙ruf<br />
aktar b˙ala ©ig©ifogu. Filfatt<br />
huma diversi x-xog˙ol tan-nar li<br />
jafu l-ori©ini tag˙hom lir-ra˙al ta-<br />
Imqabba. Illum ser insemmu biss<br />
L-ewwel xog˙ol ta’ nar <strong>tal</strong>-art ma˙dum bil-universal joint li saret ©ewwa Malta<br />
mis-Sur ÌuΩepp Ghigo fis-sena 1960.<br />

invenzjoni li saret fis-sena 1960<br />
mis-Sur ÌuΩepp Ghigo mag˙ruf<br />
mag˙na b˙ala n-‘Naqxi’. Sas-sena<br />
1959 il-log˙ob tan-nar <strong>tal</strong>-art kien<br />
jikkonsisti biss fi çrieki li jiffurmaw<br />
disinni permezz ta’ gassijiet u<br />
funtani <strong>tal</strong>-kulur. Kien fil-festa ta’<br />
<strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> <strong>tal</strong>-Imqabba tas-sena<br />
1960 meta saret l-ewwel raddiena<br />
li kienet tikkonsisti f’sitt çrieki fuq<br />
id-dawra ta’ barra u sitt pastizzi<br />
fuq ©ewwa li permezz <strong>tal</strong>-universal<br />
joint daru flimkien u ffurmaw<br />
disinni li qatt qabel ma kienu dehru<br />
f’Malta.<br />
Minn dak iΩ-Ωmien ’l hawn isseng˙a<br />
f’dan is-settur kompliet<br />
tikber ma’ Malta kollha. Nistg˙u<br />
ng˙idu li dan ix-xog˙ol ˙oloq<br />
rivoluzzjoni s˙i˙a f’dan il-qasam<br />
g˙aliex permezz <strong>tal</strong>-universal joint<br />
bdew isiru diversi disinni ©odda u<br />

Il-Knisja Arçipre<strong>tal</strong>i <strong>tal</strong>-Assunta<br />
tar-ra˙al taΩ-Ûebbu©, G˙awdex<br />
hija wa˙da unika fil-gΩejjer Maltin.<br />
Dan g˙all-fatt li din il-Knisja hija<br />
miksija b’ir˙am fin imsejja˙ ‘onice’<br />
li ©ie misjub kollu mil-limiti ta’ din<br />
l-istess parroçça. Minbarra l-˙itan<br />
miksija b’dan it-tip ta’ r˙am, fil-<br />
Knisja hemm ukoll l-Altar Mejda,<br />
l-Battisteru, is-Sedji, Konfessinarji,<br />
urni u razzi li bosta minnhom ©ew<br />
ma˙duma mill-marmista Ronnie<br />
Pisani minn dan it-tip ta’ r˙am. Ma’<br />
dawn l-opri mhux tas-soltu fl-istess<br />
Knisja hemm il-kwadru titulari ta’<br />
fuq l-altar <strong>tal</strong>-kor u l-istatwa titulari<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Assunta.<br />
Fil-kwadru titulari li sar minn<br />
artist mhux mag˙ruf, naraw ixxbieha<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Madonna qieg˙da ti©i<br />
nkurunata mit-Trinità Qaddisa.<br />
Il-Kwadru Titulari li kien sar fi Ωmien<br />
il-Kappillan Dun Fran©isk Vella.<br />
informazzjoni mi©bura mis-Sur Mario Fenech<br />
Il-figura <strong>tal</strong>-Madonna narawha<br />
g˙arkuprejha fuq s˙ab abjad<br />
imdawwar minn numru ta’ an©li<br />
li qeg˙din iwasslu lill-Madonna<br />
lejn is-sema. Il-˙arsa fuq wiçç il-<br />
Madonna hija wa˙a ta’ serenità,<br />
˙lewwa u qdusija. Xi ftit inferjuri<br />
f’dik li hija espressjoni, l-uçu˙ <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
Missier u l-Iben li qed iΩommu<br />
l-kuruna ftit ’il fuq minn ras il-<br />
Madonna.<br />
Fil-parti ta’ fuq <strong>tal</strong>-kwadru<br />
l-Ispirtu s-Santu fil-forma ta’<br />
˙amiema bajda. Fil-parti t’isfel <strong>tal</strong>kwadru<br />
erba’ an©li Ωg˙ar jerfg˙u<br />
il-kuruna <strong>tal</strong>-fjuri, simbolu tat-tif˙ir<br />
li jixraq g˙al din ix-xena fejn il-<br />
Madonna tidher die˙la fis-sema.<br />
Il-kwadru kien sar fi Ωmien il-<br />
Kappillan Dun Fran©isk Vella li<br />
g˙ex bejn is-sena 1869 u s-sena<br />
1744. Kien mexxa l-parroçça bejn<br />
is-sena 1689 u s-sena 1743. Ìie<br />
solennement inkurunat b’kuruna<br />
tad-deheb mill-Isqof t’G˙awdex<br />
Mons. Nikol Cauchi nhar it-18<br />
t’Awwissu tas-sena 1980. Madwar<br />
ras il-figura <strong>tal</strong>-Madonna tpo©©ew<br />
ukoll tnax-il stilla tad-deheb. Kemm<br />
il-kuruna kif ukoll dan l-istellarju<br />
n©abru minn fost il-poplu tar-ra˙al<br />
bil-˙idma <strong>tal</strong>-Arçipriet Dun Alwi©<br />
Vella.<br />
L-istatwa titulari <strong>tal</strong>-Assunta<br />
kienet in©iebet minn Marsilja fi<br />
Franza ming˙and id-ditta ‘Gallard<br />
Est Fils’ fis-sena 1863. Óadem<br />
biex in©iebet din l-istatwa fir-ra˙al,<br />

li kien mexxa din il-parroçça g˙al<br />
sentejn biss, bejn is-sena 1863 u<br />
s-sena 1865. Din kienet l-ewwel<br />
statwa titulari li n©iebet ming˙and<br />
din id-ditta u tant kienet intg˙o©bot<br />
li wara kienu ©ew ordnati diversi<br />
statwi titulari g˙all-knejjes o˙rajn<br />
f’G˙awdex.<br />
Il-poplu tar-ra˙al taΩ-Ûebbu©<br />

100 sena minn mindu George Saxe-Coburg<br />

Ir-<strong>Re</strong> Gor© V<br />

Minn isimijiet Maltin<br />

Din is-sena s-Soçjetà tag˙na<br />
qed tfakkar l-ewwel çentinarju<br />
minn mindu nbidel l-isem <strong>tal</strong>eqdem<br />
kaΩin fl-Imqabba bi storja<br />
kontinwa marbuta mal-festa <strong>tal</strong>patruna<br />
tar-ra˙al tag˙na – minn<br />
Circolo <strong>Santa</strong> Maria (li kien kaΩin<br />
miftu˙ g˙al kul˙add bla distinzjoni<br />
ta’ partiti) g˙al Circolo Giorgio V 1<br />
(li ’l quddiem beda jkollu sehem<br />
attiv fil-manifestazzjoni esterna <strong>tal</strong>festa<br />
titulari). Ir-ra©uni ewlenija<br />
g˙alfejn inbidel l-isem kien g˙ax<br />
fl-1910 miet ir-re Edward VII <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
Ingilterra u l-Imperu Brittanniku<br />
u floku n˙atar ibnu George, u<br />
l-mexxejja <strong>tal</strong>-kaΩin dehrilhom li<br />
kienet tkun ˙a©a xierqa li isem issoçjetà<br />
jinbidel g˙al dak tar-re il-<br />
©did. Mhux kul˙add qabel ma din<br />
il-proposta, imma xorta g˙addiet.<br />
Din il-bidla fl-isem, flimkien ma<br />
xi nuqqas ta’ qbil ie˙or rigward<br />
in-nar li kien jin˙araq fil-festa <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
Madonna <strong>tal</strong>-Ìilju, kienet ir-ra©uni<br />
g˙ala sena wara twaqqaf il-kaΩin<br />

esklussiv g˙all-Imqabba, fil-fatt<br />

Mhux se nid˙ol fil-mertu dwar<br />

mill-House of Saxe-Coburg und<br />

rjali IngliΩa, twieled fit-3 ta’ Ìunju<br />
1865 f’Marlborough House ©ewwa<br />
Londra. Kien it-tieni tifel filfamilja.<br />
Missieru kien Edward, il-Pinçep<br />
ta’ Wales, l-eredi g˙at-tron <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
Ingilterra billi kien l-iben il-kbir<br />
tar-<strong>Re</strong>©ina Victoria, u ommu kienet<br />
il-prinçipessa Alexandra, bint ir-<br />
<strong>Re</strong> Christian IX tad-Danimarka.<br />
Tg˙ammed fid-9 ta’ Lulju ©ewwa<br />

Wara dan il-prinçep George<br />
g˙adda diversi snin f’Malta fejn<br />
kien ta˙t it-tmexxija ta’ zijuh, ilprinçep<br />
Alfred, duka ta’ Edinburgh.<br />
F’Malta George beda j˙obb lillprinçipessa<br />
Marie ta’ Edinburgh,<br />
iΩda l-istorja ma’ komplietx<br />
min˙abba li ommijiethom ma<br />
kienux jaqblu.<br />

ja˙sbu li qatt kellu ç-çans isir hu<br />
r-re <strong>tal</strong>-Ingilterra. IΩda ©ara li ˙uh ilkbir<br />
miet fl-1891 bil-pneumonia sitt<br />
©img˙at wara li kien tg˙arras malprinçipessa<br />
Victoria Mary ta’ Teck,<br />
g˙alhekk huwa sar l-eredi g˙attmexxija<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Imperu Brittanniku<br />
wara missieru. Matul iΩ-Ωmien<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-luttu, George u Victoria Mary<br />
bdew i˙obbu lil xulxin u g˙alhekk<br />
iΩΩew©u fis-6 ta’ Lulju 1893 filkappella<br />
rjali ta’ St James Palace<br />
©ewwa Londra.<br />
Kien Ωwie© feliçi ˙afna u l-ittri li<br />
George kien jibg˙at lil martu meta<br />
kien ikun imsiefer, li g˙adhom<br />
jeΩistu, juru l-im˙abba kbira li kien<br />
hemm bejn din il-koppja.<br />
Meta, wara l-mewt ta’ ˙uh, hu<br />
kellu jitlaq il-karriera navali, irre©ina<br />
Victoria g˙amlitu Duka ta’<br />
York peress li sar l-eredi g˙at-tron.<br />
Hu u martu g˙exu g˙al ˙afna Ωmien<br />
f’York Cottage, dar relattivament<br />
Ωg˙ira fl-artijiet ta’ missieru, fejn<br />
˙ajjithom aktar kienet tixbah dik<br />
ta’ familja komuni milli ta’ koppja<br />
rjali. Kemm George kif ukoll<br />
martu, kienu jippreferu l-˙ajja<br />
sempliçi milli l-˙ajja sofistikata<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-palazzi rjali. Fost il-passatempi<br />
favoriti tieg˙u kien hemm il-kaçça u<br />
l-filatelija. Kellhom ˙ames subien u<br />
George kien mag˙ruf b˙ala missier<br />
dixxiplinat li kien inissel rispett (u<br />
kultant biΩa’) f’uliedu.<br />
Fit-22 ta’ Jannar 1901 mietet ir-<br />
<strong>Re</strong>©ina Victoria u g˙alhekk missier<br />
George sar ir-re <strong>tal</strong>-Ingilterra.<br />
Minn dak iΩ-Ωmien beda jissejjah<br />
His Royal Highness the Duke of<br />
Cornwall and York. Dik is-sena hu<br />
u martu daru l-Imperu Brittanniku<br />
fejn, fost l-o˙rajn, inawguraw<br />
l-ewwel parlament Awstraljan.<br />
Minn dik is-sena sal-1910 ir-re<br />
Edward VII kien ida˙˙al lil ibnu<br />
f’diversi affarijiet kunfidenzjali tarrenju<br />
bil-g˙an li jippreparah g˙al<br />
meta jil˙aq re floku. George, minna˙a<br />
tieg˙u, ˙a interess kbir f’dan<br />
u kien i˙obb jikkonsulta ma’ martu<br />

li l-Indjani jkunu involuti aktar filgvern<br />
ta’ pajjiΩhom.<br />
L-Imperu Brittanniku<br />
f’idejn ir-re George V<br />
Fis-6 ta’ Mejju 1910 r-re Edward<br />
VII miet u b’hekk George sar ir-re<br />
l-©did <strong>tal</strong>-Ingilterra u l-imperatur<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Imperu IngliΩ. Minn dak iΩ-<br />
Ωmien martu bidlet isimha minn<br />
Victoria Mary g˙al Mary g˙ax<br />
Queen Victoria Mary deher twil<br />
wisq u ma dehrilhomx kien xieraq li<br />
tie˙u l-isem Queen Victoria peress<br />
li r-re©ina Victoria, wa˙da millaqwa<br />
r©ejjen <strong>tal</strong>-Ingilterra kienet<br />
ilha biss disa’ snin mejta. B’hekk<br />
kienet tiffirma u tissemma b˙ala<br />
Queen Mary.<br />
Il-pittura uffiçjali <strong>tal</strong>-inkurunazzjoni<br />
tar-<strong>Re</strong> George V fl-1911.<br />
L-inkurunazzjoni <strong>tal</strong>-koppja rjali<br />
saret f’Westminster Abbey fil-11<br />
ta’ Ìunju 1911, u kienet okkaΩjoni<br />
ta’ festi kbar fl-Imperu IngliΩ kollu,<br />
anke f’Malta. Aktar tard dik is-sena,<br />
ir-re u r-re©ina marru l-Indja g˙ad-<br />
Delhi Durbar. L-Indja dak iΩ-Ωmien<br />
kienet kolonja IngliΩa, g˙alhekk irre<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Ingilterra kien isir l-Imperatur<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Indja. Is-soltu l-familja rjali<br />
kienet tibg˙at rappreΩentanti li<br />
jie˙du sehem fiç-çerimonja fejn irre<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Ingilterra ji©i m˙abbar b˙ala<br />
l-imperatur il-©did, waqt li fil-fatt<br />
ir-re ma kienx ikun hemm. George<br />
u Mary kienu l-unika koppja rjali li<br />
qatt attendew g˙al din iç-çerimonja,<br />
g˙alhekk peress li l-koppja rjali<br />
kienet preΩenti, iç-çelebrazzjonijiet<br />
kienu l-aqwa li qatt saru. F’dik<br />
l-okkaΩjoni George libes g˙allewwel<br />
u l-unika darba l-Imperial<br />
Crown of India, ma˙duma apposta<br />
g˙al dik l-okkaΩjoni peress li skont<br />
li©i antika l-crown jewels ma<br />
jistg˙ux jo˙or©u mill-Ingilterra.<br />
Din il-kuruna fiha 6,100 djamant<br />
fosthom il-Kohinoor Diamond (li<br />
kienet l-ikbar djamant fid-dinja),<br />
bosta Ωmeraldi, Ωafiri u rubini.<br />
L-ebda renjant IngliΩ ma re©a’ libes<br />
din il-kuruna wara u llum tinsab<br />
konservata mat-teΩori <strong>tal</strong>-kuruna<br />
IngliΩa ft-Torri ta’ Londra. Waqt<br />
din iç-çerimonja r-re George bidel<br />
il-kapi<strong>tal</strong> <strong>tal</strong>-Indja minn Calcutta<br />
g˙al Delhi.<br />
Wara l-entuΩjaΩmu <strong>tal</strong>inkurunazzjoni,<br />
George beda l-˙ajja<br />
iebsa b˙ala mexxej ta’ Imperu<br />
enormi u b˙ala re ta’ pajjiΩ li kien<br />
g˙addej minn ˙afna problemi.<br />
L-ewwel kien hemm il-problema<br />
dwar il-li©i <strong>tal</strong>-finanzi peress li<br />
kien hemm nuqqas ta’ qbil fil-<br />
House of Lords, li wassal biex lil<br />
dawn tne˙˙itilhom il-possibilità li<br />
jwaqqfu milli tg˙addi li©i relatata<br />
mal-flus. Wara nqala l-inkwiet<br />
fl-Irlanda u kien hemm il-biΩa’<br />
li tqum xi gwerra çivili f’dak ilpajjiΩ.<br />
Ftit ©ranet wara li bdew inneguzjati<br />
biex jintla˙aq ftehim dwar<br />
l-awtonomija <strong>tal</strong>-Irlanda faqqg˙et<br />
l-Ewwel Gwerra Dinjija.<br />
Is-sitwazzjoni ma kinitx façli<br />
g˙all-koppja rjali. L-g˙adu ewlieni<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Ingilterra kienet il-Ìermanja. Il-<br />
Kaiser Wilhelm II kien il-ku©in tarre<br />
waqt li r-re©ina kienet dixxendenti<br />
www.santamarija.com<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-familja rjali ÌermaniΩa ta’<br />
Württemberg. Biex ji©i evitat ˙afna<br />
nkwiet politiku r-re George ˙a<br />
deçiΩjoni drastika li jne˙˙i l-ismijiet<br />
familjari u t-titli ÌermaniΩi li kellu<br />
u jibdilhom f’isem IngliΩ. B’hekk<br />
hu u l-familja kollha tieg˙u ma<br />
baqg˙ux kunjomhom Saxe-Coburg<br />
und Gotha, imma minn dak iΩ-<br />
Ωmien ’il quddiem saru Windsor.<br />
B’hekk George sar l-ewwel renjant<br />
IngliΩ mill-House of Windsor li<br />
sal-lum g˙adha tokkupa t-tron<br />
IngliΩ. Barra minn hekk il-qraba<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-familja rjali li ©©ieldu favur il-<br />
Ìermanja ©ew maqtug˙in u tilfu<br />
kull dritt g˙at-tron kif ukoll id-dritt<br />
li jg˙idu li huma parti mill-familja<br />
rjali IngliΩa.<br />
Hekk kif spiççat il-gwerra,<br />
fl-1917, ©ie inkwiet ie˙or – irrivoluzzjoni<br />
Russa. It-Tsar tar-<br />
Russja, Nicholas II, kien prim<br />
ku©in tar-re George. Il-gvern<br />
IngliΩ offra l-ospi<strong>tal</strong>ità lill-familja<br />
rjali Russa, imma l-familja rjali<br />
IngliΩa beΩg˙et li dan seta’ jwassal<br />
ir-rivoluzzjoni ©ewwa l-Ingilterra,<br />
b’hekk ta˙t pressjoni mis-segretarju<br />
tieg˙u Lord Stamfordham, ir-<strong>Re</strong><br />
George kellu j©ieg˙el il-gvern<br />
jirtira l-offerta. Sar pjan sigriet<br />
ta’ salvata©© iΩda dan ma rnexxiex<br />
g˙ax il-familja rjali Russa nqatlet<br />
fl-1918 wara sena miΩmumin b˙ala<br />
osta©©i. L-unika li rnexxielha<br />
ssalva kienet l-imperatriçi Maria<br />
Feodorovna, omm it-Tsar Nicholas<br />
II u o˙t Alexandra ir-re©ina-omm<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Ingilterra (omm George). Din<br />
g˙addiet xi ©ranet f’Malta wara<br />
li ˙arbet mill-Krimea u mbag˙ad<br />
marret Londra sakemm marret tg˙ix<br />
fid-Danimarka sakemm mietet fl-<br />
1928.<br />
Wara dan kollu miet ibnu<br />
Ω-Ωg˙ir, John.<br />
Fis-snin ta’ wara l-gwerra<br />
nqalg˙u ˙afna rivoluzzjonijiet li<br />
raw it-tmiem <strong>tal</strong>-monarkiji fil-<br />
Ìermanja, fi Spanja, fil-Greçja u fl-<br />

familja rjali IngliΩa. George ˙adem<br />
bis-s˙i˙ biex it-tra©edja li se˙˙et<br />
fir-Russja ma ter©ax isse˙˙ u fejn<br />
seta’ da˙˙al lir-renjanti deposti lura<br />
fl-Ingilterra.<br />
L-inkwiet fl-Irlanda kompla u<br />
fl-1922 l-Irlanda nqasmet fi tnejn:<br />
parti li hija indipendenti u parti o˙ra<br />
li g˙adha su©©etta g˙all-kuruna<br />
IngliΩa.<br />
Fl-1926 ir-re George g˙adda<br />
li©i li biha l-kolonji IngliΩi setg˙u<br />
jiΩvilluppaw b˙ala komunitajiet<br />
awtonomi fejn l-ebda wa˙da ma<br />
kienet inqas importanti mill-o˙ra.<br />
Dan kien dak li eventwalment<br />
wassal g˙all-indipendenza ta’ ˙afna<br />
stati, fosthom anke Malta.<br />
Fl-1932 dan ir-re beda<br />
Monument tar-re f’Westminster.<br />
t-tradizzjoni li g˙adha ˙ajja sal-lum<br />
li nhar il-Milied jag˙ti messa©©<br />
fuq radju IngliΩ. Sakemm kellu<br />
l-©ublew <strong>tal</strong>-fidda, fl-1935, kien sar<br />
re ma˙bub ˙afna mill-poplu IngliΩ<br />
kollu.<br />
Fl-a˙˙ar snin ta’ ˙ajtu<br />
r-relazzjoni bejnu u bejn ibnu l-kbir<br />
Edward, l-eredi g˙at-tron, marret<br />
lura ˙afna, l-aktar min˙abba li dan<br />
kien imda˙˙al f’˙afna stejjer ta’<br />
m˙abba u relazzjonijiet sesswali<br />
ma’ nisa miΩΩew©in. L-iben<br />
favorit tieg˙u kien it-tieni wie˙ed,<br />
Albert u bint dan, Elizabeth (li<br />
kien isej˙ilha Lilibeth) kienet ilmimmi<br />
ta’ g˙ajnejh. Fid-djarji<br />
tieg˙u kien kiteb li jittama li ibnu<br />
l-kbir qatt ma jkollu tfal sabiex it-<br />
Soçjetà <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong> u <strong>Banda</strong> <strong>Re</strong> Ìor© V - Mqabba <strong>Festa</strong> 2010<br />
tron eventwalment jg˙addi g˙and<br />
Albert u Elizabeth.<br />
Sa˙˙et ir-re kienet bdiet sejra<br />
lura mill-ewwel gwerra dinjija,<br />
meta kien korra serjament. It-tipjip<br />
li kien ipejjep wassal biex kellu<br />
problemi fil-pulmuni, speçjalment<br />
fl-1928 meta g˙amel ˙afna xhur<br />
marid bil-bronkite u qatt ma fieq<br />
minnha g˙al kollox. Fl-a˙˙ar sena<br />
ta’ ˙ajtu, wara li ççelebra l-©ublew<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-fidda, spiss kellu jie˙u l-ossi©nu<br />
minn magna.<br />
Fil-15 ta’ Jannar 1936 ir-re<br />
intefa’ fis-sodda g˙ax ˙aseb li<br />
g˙andu ri˙. Fil-fatt kien attakk<br />
qawwi <strong>tal</strong>-kumplikazzjonijiet li<br />
kellu fil-pulmun. G˙adda ˙amest<br />
ijiem spiss jintilef minn sensih<br />
sakemm, skont id-djarju tat-tabib<br />
tieg˙u Lord Dawson of Penn,<br />
dan stess tah injezzjoni le<strong>tal</strong>i ta’<br />
kokaina u morfina biex je˙les lillfamilja<br />
rjali minn aktar taqtig˙-il<br />
qalb u biex il-mewt tar-re (li se˙˙et<br />
fil-23:55) tkun tista’ tit˙abbar fledizzjoni<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-g˙ada fil-g˙odu <strong>tal</strong>-<br />
©urnal The Times, peress li l-a˙˙ar<br />
a˙barijiet kienu jid˙lu f’nofs il-lejl.<br />
Fatt kurjuΩ hu li meta s-salma<br />
tar-re kienet qed tittie˙ed f’korteo<br />
lejn Westminister Hall, il-kuruna<br />
waqg˙et minn fuq it-tebut. Ibnu<br />
l-kbir, ir-Edward VIII, raha taqa’ u<br />
staqsa jekk dan kienx ifisser sinjal<br />
˙aΩin g˙ar-renju tieg˙u. Fil-fatt<br />
Edward abdika t-tron f’inqas minn<br />
sena, bla ma biss kien g˙adu ©ie<br />
inkurunat, g˙ax ried jiΩΩewwe© mara<br />
ddivorzjata, ˙a©a li kienet projbita<br />
mill-knisja Anglikana dak iΩ-Ωmien<br />
u kontra l-fehma <strong>tal</strong>-familja rjali.<br />
It-tron, g˙alhekk, g˙adda g˙and<br />
˙uh Albert (li ˙a l-isem ta’ George<br />
VI) u eventwalment g˙and bintu<br />
Elizabeth, li g˙adha re©ina sal-lum.<br />
B’hekk ix-xewqa tar-re George V<br />
inqatg˙et.<br />
Lejliet il-funeral tieg˙u, li sar<br />
fid-29 ta’ Jannar 1936, l-erba’<br />
ulied li kellu ˙ajjin, Edward,<br />
Albert, Henry u George, g˙amlu<br />
l-velja madwar it-tebut tieg˙u u din<br />
baqg˙et mag˙rufa b˙al the Vigil<br />

B˙alma l-Madonna telg˙et<br />
is-Sema bir-ru˙ u l-©isem<br />
Hekk a˙na li nsalvaw,<br />
g˙ad immorru s-Sema bir-ru˙ u l-©isem<br />
Forsi xi ˙add jistaqsi u jg˙id:<br />
Imma a˙na l-bnedmin dg˙ajfa u<br />
midinbin nistg˙u nipparagunaw<br />
ru˙na mal-Ver©ni <strong>Marija</strong> fit-tlug˙<br />
tag˙ha fis-sema bir-ru˙ u l-©isem?<br />
Qabel xejn ng˙idu li huwa tag˙lim<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Knisja Kattolika li meta din iddinja,<br />
kif nafuha a˙na tispiçça u<br />
l-a˙˙ar bniedem imut, il-bnedmin<br />
kollha minn Adam sal-a˙˙ar<br />
bniedem jiltaqg˙u f’post bir-ru˙<br />
u l-©isem sabiex l-Im˙allef Etern<br />
jag˙mel ˙aqq minnhom. Dan fil-fatt<br />
inkunu ng˙idu illi meta nirreçitaw<br />
il-Kredu u ntennu: Nemmen filqawwa<br />
mill-imwiet. G˙ad ji©i jum<br />
illi a˙na d-devoti ta’ <strong>Marija</strong>, l-istess<br />
b˙alha nitg˙ollew lejn is-sema birru˙<br />
u l-©isem, imma l-©isem tag˙na<br />
ma jkunx iΩjed debboli mimli<br />
imperfezzjonijiet, tqil u marradi,<br />
imma jkun ©isem glorjuΩ ˙afif illi<br />
jg˙addi minn kullimkien b˙al li<br />
kieku mhux ©isem. Ikun l-istess<br />
b˙alma huwa l-©isem <strong>tal</strong>-Madonna<br />
issa li hija fis-sema.<br />
Le f’dik li hija glorja u setg˙a<br />
ma nistg˙ux nipparagunaw lilna<br />
nfusna mal-Madonna fl-Assunzjoni<br />
tag˙na fis-sema wara l-©udizzju<br />
Universali. Il-merti personali<br />
tag˙na huma Ωg˙ar wisq u l-merti<br />
<strong>tal</strong>-Madonna kienu kbar wisq.<br />
Hekk qalilha l-An©lu Gabriel meta<br />
kellimha fit-t˙abbira tieg˙u ©ewwa<br />
Nazzaret. ‘Int mimlija bil-grazzja’<br />
qalilha l-An©lu u ‘mbierka int<br />
fost in-nisa kollha’, anzi nistg˙u<br />
ng˙idu li l-Madonna mhux biss hija<br />
mimlija bil-grazzja imma fawwara<br />
ta’ grazzja u min˙abba din il-milja<br />
ta’ grazzja, a˙na msejkna bnedmin<br />
nistg˙u nikkummentaw xi ftit <strong>tal</strong>merti<br />
g˙as-sema. Il-Ver©ni <strong>Marija</strong>,<br />
li tkun g˙alina ‘Bieb tas-Sema’ u<br />
port tas-Salvazzjoni g˙enitna biex<br />
insalvaw kif ukoll illi tkun mag˙na<br />
u tifra˙ meta binha Ìesù jaççettana<br />
biex nid˙lu ngawduh fis-sema birru˙<br />
u l-©isem.<br />
Issa kif nafu bil-qawwa millimwiet<br />
kif ng˙idu fil-Kredu?<br />
Kristu stess qalilna li maljar wara<br />
d-dieqa ta’ dak iΩ-Ωmien, ix-xemx<br />
tiddallam u l-qamar ma jag˙tix<br />
dawlu, il-kwiekeb jaqg˙u missema<br />
– imbag˙ad jidher fis-sema<br />
s-sinjal ta’ Bin il-Bniedem, u jaraw<br />
lil Bin il-Bniedem ©ej fuq is-s˙ab<br />
tas-sema b’setg˙a u seb˙ kbir. U<br />
jibg˙at l-an©li tieg˙u bi tromba<br />
li ΩΩarΩar bil-qawwa u jisimg˙u<br />
l-ma˙turin mill-erbat irjie˙ minn<br />
tarf tas-sema.<br />

kitba tas-Sur Joe Chetcuti<br />
Ìesù jkompli jitkellem fuq jum<br />
il-˙aqq u jg˙id: Meta ji©i Bin il-<br />
Bniedem fil-glorja kollha tieg˙u u<br />
l-an©li kollha mieg˙u, jin©emg˙u<br />
quddiemu l-bnedmin kollha <strong>tal</strong>-art<br />
u jifridhom minn xulxin b˙alma<br />
rag˙aj jifred il-˙rief mill-gidien.<br />
Biex inkunu devoti ta’ <strong>Marija</strong> bisserjetà,<br />
il-festi esterni m’humiex<br />
biΩΩejjed. Il-banda, il-˙ruq tannar,<br />
it-tiΩjin fit-toroq, il-kant <strong>tal</strong>innijiet<br />
jistg˙u jg˙inu ˙afna imma<br />
l-importanti huwa l-ispiritwal. Il-<br />
Madonna tg˙inna sabiex inkunu<br />
n-na˙a <strong>tal</strong>-lemin tag˙ha meta<br />
l-©isem jer©a’ jing˙aqad ma’ ru˙na<br />
u dan ise˙˙ jekk f’˙ajjitna nag˙mlu<br />
biss dak li jrid binha Ìesù u hi stess.<br />
G˙aldaqstant <strong>Marija</strong> mhux biss tkun<br />
parti mill-˙ajja tag˙na, imma l-˙ajja<br />
tag˙na kollha kemm hi. G˙addevoti<br />
nsara, il-festa <strong>tal</strong>-Assunta,<br />
<strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Marija</strong>, ma g˙andhiex tkun<br />
biss fil-15 ta’ Awwissu, imma tkun<br />
kuljum, lejl u nhar is-sena kollha.<br />
San Bernard ma kellu l-ebda dubju<br />
