Summary

Description
English: Mosta is large town, with a population of over 20,000 people. Since many years ago they have celebrated their feast & saint passionately every 15th of August. The day is a National holiday in Malta as it marks the day the SS Ohio saved Malta during WWII, with many people saying it’s a miracle by St Mary. The Rotunda, amongst the biggest in the world also miraculously survived the war as a German bomb penetrated its roof, as mass was being exercised, and somehow didn’t explode, with the church suffering minor damage as a result.
