Heritage Malta is organising several Christmas-themed activities at the Inquisitor’s Palace in Vittoriosa. The events will be catering for schoolchildren and the general public. During the sessions the participants will take part in activities designed to provide them with the opportunity to appreciate the intangible heritage of Christmas. These activities will consist of hands-on sessions including games related to the Festive Season. They will also be able to create their own pasturi, the clay figures which are placed in Christmas crib and cook traditional Maltese bread pudding known as Pudina tal-Hobz.
At the Inquisitor’s Palace Heritage Malta will also be celebrating Christmas with a permanent exhibition of miniature cribs from around the world. Featuring, amongst others, the traditional Maltese presepju, colourful retablos from Peru, smooth soapstone sets from Kenya, delicate fretwork from Germany and many other examples from around the globe, this unique collection highlights the Nativity as a universal theme in history and across cultures.
Heritage Malta members and the general public will also be able to participate in Christmas events and will have the possibility to rediscover the art of clay pasturi making and the cooking of traditional Maltese and other European homemade delights of the festive season including pudina tal-Hobz, imbuljuta and mulled wine which will be held on Friday 12th December at 18.00 hrs for Heritage Malta members and on Saturday 13th December from 09.00 hrs onwards for the general public.
