All good things come to an end, and this was indeed the case at ‘Ta Passi’ fields as the Nativity Village or ‘Bethlehem f’ Ghajnsielem’ finally came to an end as the world celebrated the Epiphany.

After four weekends of animation and three months of hard work by dozens of volunteers, the intensive work involved in organising the village was well rewarded for the villagers of Ghajnsielem in seeing the thousands of Maltese and Gozitans who have visited ‘Ta Passi’.

Calculations made show that approximately 55,000 people visited the Nativity Village between the 6th of December and the 4th of January.

Visitors included the Prime Minister Dr Lawrence Gonzi, Parliament Speaker Louis Galea, Gozo Bishop Mgr Mario Grech, Leader of the Opposition Dr Joseph Muscat, several members of parliament, dignitaries, journalists and hundreds of tourists who happened to be in Gozo for Christmas.
