The Department of Information just took to their social media to post a heartwarming throwback photo that captures a precious moment of devotion and family love in Malta's history.

The image, preserved in the archives of the Department, showcases a mother and her children pausing to say a prayer before the niche of St. Paul in Rabat. The location, at the intersection of Triq Santa Marija and Triq il College, holds special significance for the Maltese community.

The children, brimming with innocence, are on their way to school, symbolising the importance of faith and education in their upbringing.

This nostalgic photo stands as a testament to the enduring values cherished by generations past.
