NOVEMBER 8 @ 17:00 - 20:00 Lumen Ecclesiae Teatru Astra Triq ir-Repubblika, Victoria, Gozo, Malta Lumen Ecclesiæ – Allegoria is a com- pelling exhibition that brings to light the enduring power of symbolism in sacred and cultural art. The centrepiece of the exhibition fea- tures two life-size allegorical statues crafted by the dis- tinguished Maltese sculptors Vincen- zo Maria Cremona and Chev. Michael Camilleri Cauchi. These works, rich in narrative depth and spiritual resonance, serve as visual meditations on ecclesiastical themes and the broader human con- dition. As part of the accompanying cultural program, a public talk will be held on the 8th of November, focusing on the evaluation of art and the interpretation of allegories in both historical and con- temporary contexts. This discussion will be led by Paul Cassar BA (Hons), MA (Melit.), and Mgr Joseph Farrugia.

What's happening in Gozo Did you know? Ta' Sannat lies in the south of the island of Gozo. The name is probably derived from that of an Arabic-Greek family that moved to Gozo from Sicily. Ta' Sannat is best known for the Ta' Cenc plateau on the edge of the village and its spectacular Ta' Cenc cliffs, the highest cliffs in Gozo. The plateau is typical Maltese garigue rich in flora and fuana. It is also the site of a number of prehistoric remains, including sparse remnants of L-Imramma Temple and three dolmens (made up of, a roughly shaped horizontal limestone slab supported on three sides by blocks of stone standing on end). The plateau overlooks the Hanżira valley, a natural gorge with steep rocky sides separating Ta' Sannat from the village of ix-Xewkija, of which there are excellent views. 2 gozotoday | FRIDAY • 7 NOVEMBER 2025 EVENTS
