I was born and raised here in the States, and my mother was born in the states her mom and dad went back to Malta just before the war. They came back to the states after the war. My family is from Zejtun. My mother and her entire family are buried in the family crypt in that cemetery. My cousins have taught in the school in Zejtun. . My Great Aunt, Aunty Pia was one of the nuns that helped start an orphanage in what is now the Institute after ww11. My graet uncle Giuseppe Caruana did the painting in the chapel in that institute. I have a lot of family history in that town. My mom's funeral service was done in St. Gregory's. My dad and her retired in Malta
Wow ..So when you are over we must have a walk around ?? I just received the heratage trail so I am trinking of makingb a video soon !
Zejtun does an amazing parade for Easter. I was there one Easter. One of my cousins got us chairs, because it takes a couple of hous. They go through the whole Bible. The costumes all look authentic. It's amazing. I have never seen anything like it.
@@EnglishmaninMalta yes we could do a walk about. Love Zejtun
What a lovely story. I absolutely love Malta, one of my favourite places ❤️
What a fantastic village, grand beautiful old buildings, I agree with you a wander around the village would be awesome, so much to see it all looks original. That was magical, I can not believe we have never been there or if I have I have just driven through. This is a must for our next visit. Thankyou very much Steve. 😍👍

Hi, STEVE LOOKS LIKE MADE BIG INPROVEMENT WITH YOUR CAMERA EQUIPMENT HEY. VERY NICE BROWH..
Been filming with the same camera since before covid ?
Good one Steve, went to the museum in April was interesting and had a cup of coffee in cafe opposite 60 cents cheapest brew ive had in modern times..
Oh yes Museum, I read that place wrong 👍🤣🤣 never noticed a cafe ?
@@EnglishmaninMalta it didn't look like a cafe more a hall mini bus broke down so guide took us in
JUST THE RIGHT SORT OF WALK TO STIR UP AN APETITE FOR A "Fish & Chips" LUNCH 😊. Nice interesting walk so far Steve. "Vestru" is Maltese for "Silvester" (name).
Look forward to forthcoming parts 2 & 3 🙏 ..
THANKS STEVE 🚶 🎥 👏 .
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™
Shame it didnt get a good reception, the views are very low ! You will have to wait to see if I found Fish and chips ??
Hi Steve,a very interesting walk.Zejtun which is in Malta's south is divided into two parts namely "Ir-rahal ta' fuq" (the upper village),the part from which you started your walk and which leads to Marsaxlokk,and "ir-rahal t'isfel" (the lower village), the very old part which leads to Zabbar,and where you'll find a number of bent narrow streets and alleys,which in the event of being chased by invaders,in the old days one could easily escape and seek shelter.Girgor is Gregory in Maltese.When you mentioned St. Nicholls it was supposed to be St. Nicholas."Ta' Vestru" means of Vestru ,,short of Sylvester's.He was a Maltese folk singer.Frans Baldacchino ,whose statue stands in that park, was also a loved folk singer with a unique voice who passed away only a few years back .You were only five minutes away from Roger's where you could have got some nice pastizzi.Thanks for your good work.
Thank you for the corrections and info, I had never been that way before and was waiting so info from the council which never came, I finally found some info and history, But I am interested to go back again one day, I really enjoyed the walk lots of fun

Hi, those are fresh ciccri, ( can’t spell it) they’re beautiful. Back in the old days they used to walk along Marsaxlokk selling a bunch for sixpence. Those were the good old days! 😋
Wonder how much now ?

Hello there! Thanks for the support
I don't think my mum is going to enjoy the market, especially with the fish around it! Anyway buddy, not long to go now! Stay safe!
Its all part of the local market in Malta
Zeitun looks lovely, never been there❤
Its a lovely little village packed with history
You walked right past a Pastizz shop just by the church museum.
WOW ..I never noticed lol 😂
It's a long walk Steve you will need some fish and chips

A new video from Kalkara, please.? :)
hi steve nice vedio .? but what is gor go😄
Gor go ?
The type of place I like to get lost in. Sit with the lads an a couple of cisk
Think you will enjoy it there loads of locals and 3/4 bars
Steve I like your English to Maltese keep up into Issa malti
Thank you ! I need to improve more ?
I have seen many video's with people wearing face masks? Do we need to bring some over this Saturday?
There are some people still wearing masks, But the only place you need to wear a mask in Malta are heath departments doctors, hospitals, clinics so it wouldn't hurt having some with you, But other then that there are no restrictions in Malta
Hi Next time you visit Zejtun... get in touch with Sean Chircop he will give you a guided tour...
Ok thanks but no idea who or where he is !
Good market used to lots similar round here but mostly given up now ....the stall holders don't want to be filmed because they probably think you are from immigration !!
Looking for the best pastizzi in Zejtun? Look up Roger’s.
Where are they ? I didn't notice anyone near the church ,
@@EnglishmaninMalta they are on Il-Kanonku Dedomenico, Żejtun, about a 5 minute walk from St Catherines. Ask the locals for "Ta Roger"
