The enclosure of the Żabbar Sanctuary Museum is currently hosting a distinguished photographic exhibition, curated to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Coronation of Our Lady of Graces. This landmark event serves as a sophisticated intersection of religious devotion and the fine art of photography, capturing the very essence of this historic community’s heritage.
The success of the display is a testament to the meticulous organization of Grupp Armar Żabbar. The exhibition’s production values are nothing short of first-rate Signs & More and Fiesta.mt‘s help has been invaluable.
The exhibition constitutes a veritable Who’s Who of the Żabbar photographic fraternity, featuring a collection of works that bridge the gap between local sentiment and international prestige. The gallery showcases the formidable talents of several photographers, including:
- Andre Gialanze
- Clifton Fenech
- Clive Pace
- Lawrence and Aidan Bonnici
- Silvio Pace
- Ian Noel Pace
- Simon Muscat
- Reuben Pullicino
A centerpiece of the collection is a significant 2001 photograph by the late Raymond Gialanze. Known for his deep devotion, Gialanze maintained a storied tradition of making the Statue of Our Lady of Graces his first photographic subject.
Ultimately, this exhibition stands as a profound celebration of faith, artistry, and communal solidarity—a fitting tribute to the 75th Anniversary of the Coronation of the Titular Painting of Our Lady of Graces.
