Baby Jesus Procession

An image showing A crowd of people taking part in the traditional Baby Jesus Procession in Valletta a few days before Christmas. At the center, a young child holds a decorative illuminated sign reading “Illum Twelidna Salvatur,” surrounded by others carrying similar festive signs as they walk through a busy, warmly lit street.

The much-loved Baby Jesus Procession returns this year, beginning from Our Lady of Victories Church in Castille Square. This heartwarming, candle-lit procession brings together families and communities to celebrate the Nativity through hymns, prayers, and live music.

The route will take participants from Castille through Zachary Street, Republic Street, and St John’s Street, concluding at Tritoni Square. During the procession, the Cappella Musicale Caeciliana will perform live from the St John’s Co-Cathedral balcony, adding a spiritual dimension to the event.

Near the Co-Cathedral, visitors will also be able to admire the traditional Christmas crib, beautifully installed and illuminated — a cherished local symbol that depicts the Nativity scene with remarkable craftsmanship. The crib serves as a poignant reminder of the humble origins of Christmas and provides a meaningful focal point for reflection and prayer.
