Il-Vġili tal-Martirju ta' San Ġorġ, Festi Ċentinarji April 2003

A night vigil of prayer on St George’s Square, conceived and willed by archpriest Mgr Dr Joseph Farrugia, was held on 22 April 2003, the eve of St George’s Day, marking the 17th century from the Soldier-Saint’s martyrdom. According to ancient tradition going back to the early 4th century, George of Lydda was beheaded for his Christian faith on 23 April 303. The vigil of prayer was led by Fr Joseph Gauci and presided by the bishop of Gozo, Mgr Nikol Cauchi. The Laudate Pueri Choir of the basilica, under the direction of Fr George Frendo, and the La Stella Band, under the baton of Mro Joseph Vella, participated.
