On Saturday, 17^th December, the magi will depart from Mtarfa at 9:30am and will go on to visit children and a number of elderly homes.

On Sunday, 18^th December, the magi will journey from Imgarr in Malta, eventually reaching the Mellieha main square where they will recreate the meeting with King Herod in the Main Square.
