    1. Religion in Malta

    2. Religious Beliefs and Practices in Malta The principal religion of the Maltese is Roman Catholicism. The Maltese are devout: most men and women attend mass at least once a week, especially on Sunday. Among Roman Catholics, Malta has the highest ratio of priests to laypeople in the world.

    3. What do Christians believe in? We believe in The Holy Trinity- God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We believe that at the End of the World everything will be near to God and Jesus will return. We have seven sacraments which are: Baptism, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Eucharist, another type of Confirmation for the Sick, the Vows of being a priest or a monk, and marriage. They were established by Jesus.

    4. Roman Catholic Religion As a Holy Book we have the Bible. It starts with the Old Testament which is what Jews believe in and then there’s the New Testament which all Christians believe in. It is like a story of Jesus Christ’s life, and after he was crucified and resurrected, everything that happened after.

    5. Religion in Malta In Malta, Religion is highly important. We go to church every Sunday and not many people skip it. Some people go to church everyday. We say the rosary especially in October and in May and we celebrate Religious feasts highly and with true heart. Many people give their time to work on showing praise for all Saints, the Holy Trinity and Holy Mary.

    6. Churches & Feasts Maltese people are very fond of their religion. Wherever you look you can see churches, chapels, alcoves and statues. In one village it is easy to find over 8 churches and chapels. One of the greatest attractions is the Maltese village feast dedicated to the celebration of the village's patron saint. Maltese celebrate these feasts in great style.
