My home churches

The old Lapsi church in St Julian's, Malta at Christmas time

Christmas of course always takes you back in time, and for me it's my childhood churches that evoke most of my nostalgic memories. I grew up in a small parish church in St,. Julian's, dedicated to the same saint. But since it was becoming too small for the growing population, a new modern one was built and opened in 1968, the same one where I served for 4 years between 1977 and 1981. These photos show some Christmas decorations in both churches.
