Aħna fit-2 ta’ Frar nerġgħu nfakkru dan l-avveniment għax fit-2 ta’ Frar ikunu għaddew 40 jum mill-Milied u allura nfakkru l-40 ġurnata tal-Bambin Ġesù… Read more »

The family of Nazareth suffered such humiliation and experienced first-hand the precariousness, fear and pain of having to leave their homeland… Read more »
