Seven adults, mostly below the age of 30, received the Sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion) and became Catholics during this evening's Easter Vigil celebrated by Archbishop Charles Scicluna.
During the Solemn Vigil of the Lord's Resurrection at the St John's Cathedral, Archbishop Scicluna baptised seven people who have chosen Christian life in adulthood. At the Vigil, a young German was also confirmed into the Catholic faith.
The young people baptised hail from six different countries: Malta, India, Italy, the Czech Republic and Turkey.
During Lent, they had met with Archbishop Scicluna in preparation for their initiation. One of them, a 27-year-old, explained how from childhood he had always tried to seek the truth and would always ask about the existence of God.
The celebration of the Easter Vigil began at 8pm and included fire blessings and the announcement of Easter; the reading of passages from Holy Scripture and singing of Glory; the water blessings and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
