7 Il-Ħadd 24 ta' Diċembru 2017 | illum Aħbarijiet SAN Ġorġ Preca hu verament unur divin mogħti lill-Malta bħala rigal mill-isbaħ. Apparti li huwa l-uniku qaddis ta' nisel Malti, Dun Ġorġ hekk kif kien aktar magħruf mal-Maltin, ħalla monument ħaj li l-poplu Malti jibqa' jiret sena wara sena; is-Soċjetà tal-Mużew. Din is-Soċjetà, amplifikat l-esperjenza tal-Milied tal- Maltin b'diversi drawwiet fosthom, il-presepju u l-għoti tar-rigali. Però l-akbar attività, li sal-lum il-ġurnata, għadha tirrifletti d-devozzjoni tal- Maltin lejn il-fidi Nisranija, hi dik tal-purċissjoni ta' lejliet il-Milied. Kien propju, lejliet il-Milied tal-1921, meta l-membri tas- Soċjetà, daru għall-ewwel darba bil-Bambin fil-Ħamrun. Dun Ġorġ kien diġà, esprima din l-idea ta' purċissjoni mal-membri tas-Soċjetà fil- Ħamrun, propju fil-post fejn hu kien waqqaf l-ewwel ċentru tas- Soċjetà. L-istorja tinnota kif, Dun Ġorg ma riedx purċissjoni formali iżda 'manifestazzjoni' ta' fidi u ferħ li fiha, tinvolvi lin- nies fl-ispirtu reali tal-Milied. Il-membri tal-Mużew, għamlu l-almu tagħhom sabiex jorganizzaw dan l-avveniment, iżda dawn kellhom problema kbira quddiemhom, l-akkwist tal-istatwa tal-Bambin. Dan għaliex 96 sena ilu, l-istatwi tal-Bambin, kienu disponibbli biss fil-knejjes għall-quddies ta' nofsillejl. Madankollu, il-membri tal- Mużew ippruvaw jakkwistaw waħda akkost ta' kollox. Finalment, Fr Francis Micallef, Franġiskan mill-Kunvent tal- Franġiskani fil-Belt Valletta, sellef statwa lis-Soċjetà għal din l-okkażjoni. B'suċċess f 'lejliet il-Milied tal-1921, Triq Fra Diegu fil- Ħamrun, kienet iffullata bi tfal u adulti lesti biex jieħdu sehem f 'din l-purċissjoni. Dawk li attendew, ġabu magħhom diversi tipi ta' fanali saħanistra kien hemm minn uża l-bozoz ta' quddiem tar- rota mixgħula b'gass oħrajn ġabu magħhom lampi taż-żejt. Il-purċissjoni mxiet fit-toroq prinċipali tal-Ħamrun bil- parteċipanti jkantaw innijiet tal-Milied tradizzjonali, bħal Adeste Fideles (Come all Ye Faithful) u Ninni la Tibkix Iżjed, miktuba mill-Ġiżwita Fr Andrew Schembri. Il-popolazzjoni numeruża tal-Ħamrun kienet preżenti għall-purċissjoni, it-toroq kienu mimlijin entużjażmu. Kienet tassew preparazzjoni hienja għall-quddiesa ta' nofsillejl. lcarter@mediatoday.com.mt Liam Carter 96 sena wara; l-idea ta' San Ġorġ Preca tibqa' tiddomina Illejla, it-toroq simetriċi tal-bliet u dawk l-isqaqien dojoq tal-irħula Maltin, se jkunu ddominati mill- eku tal-kant sabiħ iddedikat għat-twelid ta' Sidna Ġesù Kristu. Fid-dawl ta' dan l-avveniment annwa- li, l-ILLUM tat ħarsa lejn l-istorja wara l-purċissjoni bil-Bambin...
