    AN AMAZING CHURCH ⛪ 😲
    Those mosaic walls outside are piece of art - they depict the " 20 Mysteries of the Rosary". All those frames hanging off the walls are "Thank You Letters" to 'Madonna ta'Pinu' for "heavenly intervention" received by her devotees 🙏.
    THANKS STEVE for the beautiful tour 🚶😇 🎥 👏 👏 👏.
    Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ♥ 🇺🇦 ™

    Steve, you are not a complete Atheist, you have a lot of respect for Churches and religious artefacts, therefore I think you would make a very good Catholic. I shall pray for your conversion. Bless you! 😇,

    How beautiful!I remember I came to visit this Church back in 1979 when I was there with my parents.It has changed alot.I dont remember the gorgeous mosaics being there then, but, I do remember large white statues being outside.Yes, I agree with you, it does somewhat resemble Christ the king Church in Paola, when you first go into the Church.Thank you for this lovely video and all the videos you put up.

    When I was there many years ago they had crutches and wheel chairs hanging on the walls from people who were healed. I think it was this church.

    Such a beautiful church and the mosaics outside are stunning 😍 Visited Gozo a few times but as far as I recall we’ve not been to Ta’ Pinu. I’m thinking when we are over in Malta in July to perhaps book a 1 night stay in Gozo, that way we’ll get to see more places. Is there anywhere you’d recommend as a central base?

    No one should be forced to be around a lot of people without masks if they don't want to. There is still some danger, at least indoors when there are lots of people. Like The courts in America forced mask mandates at airports to be removed, I refuse to go through an airport that over 1000 people a day travel through unless everyone has to wear a mask so I will avoid traveling for now. There was a lot of angry people when the courts did that. Taking people's comfort away like that. Then again flight costs have skyrocketed anyway.
    'Ta' Pinu' just like any other church in the Maltese Islands they don't like cameras when church service is running because no one likes cameras running then, yet other than that Ta' Pinu does not mind cameras, I have took plenty of photos inside that church with permission. After church service ended. Just as long as you are not stalking anyone with the camera you should be fine before or after service in churches.
    I am not sure if you are still in Gozo, yet 'Rotunda St. John Baptist Church' is a nice church, with an incredible view from the roof top, they hope for tips in exchange for being allowed on to the rooftop. The church it's self is beautiful. It's located in Xewkija, Gozo.
