Restored statue of Jesus the Redeemer in Senglea to be inaugurated

The statue of Jesus the Redeemer of Senglea, famous for its beauty, has been restored and will be inaugurated during a special ceremony to be held on Saturday.

The event, which starts at 5.30pm, will include a documentary of the restoration process which took nine months.

The Senglea parish commissioned a number of scientific studies on the statue, venerated all over Malta, before the restoration process started.

Archbishop Mgr Charles Scicluna will be leading a pilgrimage with the statue on 9 March, followed by mass in the basilica.

The restoration programme will continue after the Good Friday activities.
