maltatoday, SUNDAY, 6 DECEMBER 2015 IV Christmas Supplement IV Christmas Supplement MINSTER for Gozo Anton Refalo has announced that the Ministry for Gozo is once again organizing a series of activities and events to be held all over Gozo between 5 December 2015 and 3 Janu- ary 2016. During a press con- ference the minister explained that a specialized committee had been set up earlier this year to oversee the organiza- tion of the events. Refalo (second from right) said that the Christmas season is sure to provide the perfect op- portunity for visitors to discover the magic of Gozo. Authentic gastronomy, religious ceremo- nies and traditional local cel- ebrations will ensure that Gozo remains a winter destination that appeals to everybody. Of particular interest is surely to be the live cribs, in Ghajn- sielem, Xaghra and Nadur. These live cribs are one of a kind and not to be missed. One will also have the oppor- tunity to enjoy various static and mechanized cribs set up in homes and churches and that are created from various materials - a true feast for the eyes. Other attractions adding value to the Gozo experience are the pageants, religious processions and other cultural and seasonal activities. These include concerts, religious events, activites for children, Christmas markets and the Christmas Parade. Street illumination and the traditional decorations of the facades of the houses and shops also lend a hand in creating the right atmosphere for the cel- ebration of Christmas. Maria Farrugia, as chair- person of the Christmas in Gozo Committee, said that the programme planned for this year is ambitious, sure to give visitors a most memorable and enjoyable experience during this special time of the year. A brochure featuring details of the events was launched during the press conference. This brochure is being distribut- ed around Malta and Gozo and may also be accessed on the christmasingozo.com website and Facebook page. The minister thanked all those involved for the work being car- ried out, in particular the various directorates within the Ministry for Gozo, the Malta Tourism Au- thority and the various tourism operators and Locals Councils which are supporting the event. Refalo also announced that a delegation from Bethlehem will be participating in some of the activities.
