On Saturday, December 28th, the Seminary hosted a joyful celebration related with the heralding of Advent and the presentation of the icon for the coming year of formation.
During the celebration, Rector Fr Tony Sciberras shared with the community his thoughts for the start of the new liturgical year. Then we sang the Maranathà and other hymns related with Advent. The icon for this year was painted by Seminarian Daniel Mercieca. The icon is a painted copy of the official logo of the Jubilee of Mercy. The original was painted by the famous artist Fr Marko Ivan Rupnik. At the presentation, Daniel gave an explanation of the icon which shows Jesus Christ bearing on his shoulders a lost soul, represented in the figure of Adam.
Rosary was recited at the end of the celebration.
