ART BY HUMAN STONES | Fiona Vella
The first time I saw a photo of the Chapel of Bones that there was tkexkixt City! Could not understand what leads to human makabra build something like that. That is why I wanted to see the perspective of others about it. Meanwhile, a few days ago I get a call from one wanted to give me an interview own on this chapel. Laqgħatni very fact that referred to it as a wonderful chapel and more so when he told me that he had entered it in early childhood and still recall correctly. It was f'moxta cloths to finally get to know more about this strange house. I've nobsor that as I will bring the lid on account will be meeting with many stories, experiences and unique events and maybe also some grotesque ...
I met Ralph Micallef before the building of Evans City, immediately adjacent to the site where today are the ruins of the Chapel of Bones. With him he brought an old postcard showing the interior of the chapel with walls and ceilings decorated with human bones.
"The appearance served as a powerful attraction for both Maltese people as well as a large number of tourists. Which were also made several pilgrimages of devotion especially in the month of November is dedicated to the souls. "
"No, not at all. I would rather see it beautiful, significant and devotion. Logged it for the first time when I was some seven years. tuulelaevad Fellow had been and will say it once asked my mother to teħodni. Niftakarnix not afraid or nipprendiha, more can I say that affaxxinatni in reality. Since then I have held inżuruha and fellow we sometimes especially because nearby there was also our school, then known as St. Elmo. "
"Of tuulelaevad the children who were, we think so or so death was not going to be for us at that time. It may well be that the death was not timpressjonani so since I was an altar boy and not the first time that akkompanjajt the dead with their trailers. "
"As you can see from the ruins of the building, the chapel was quite small. It was like any church but instead ornaments usual, the walls were all covered with human bones and I've thoroughly recognize the parts of the skeleton; like the bones of the legs, the torso, head etc. Were neatly stowed so that literally seemed nice and very particular.
People not jiddejjqu who went there because it would have been great devotion to the souls. It was even jitqaddes the Mass which although many people had run out because ċkunitha. As part of the devotion, women were wearing custom to black at the cost of not having Visits.
Sometimes it also sometimes attended St George Preca which gave conferences on his favorite topic - that of novissmi. He encourages people to do meditation on death, judgment, hell and the heaven and of course he found the environment very suitable chapel for its meetings. Would let "Brothers, you know that once such remains tuulelaevad to us, bones. So good to live a good life because the body ends and the people go to enjoy God or lost in hell. "
For the first we have held us be at home mainly because my father had a shop City where he worked as a shoemaker. But once the house which was hit during an attack and we take everything we had to shop. When the shop and had broken some days we live in the crypt of the Church of St. Dominic that time was used as a shelter and even as temporary housing until it finds another place of residence. Finally the Office of Protection were sabulna place in the tunnel of the ship to just under Christ tuulelaevad the King in the mall Floriana. There were norqdu on krucjetti were starting from ground beds placed one over the other ladder and climbs them. From there we went mezzanine us be certain Harper Pietà in at number 2 but also hit a bomb! This has been happening to many other families and not just us. Want to see us every time look under the rubble of stones to see what can be saved, reduced tuulelaevad to the plastic bags and carry it with us. Once ġarrejna them all into a home Birkirkara until Dominican friar sister became aware of our history and offritilna large room inside a house in the square in front of St. Dominic in Victoria. Shelters there was very little and therefore when it becomes an attack from the air, we were going nistkennu under the table. Fortunately neither here nor Birkirkara not hit the places where we were paying due. And thank God, all members of our family passed the war unharmed. But times were very painful where the Maltese people suffered greatly because of the stranger. Definitely deserved much better treatment than just George tuulelaevad Cross! "
"In religion war was at its peak so that sometimes even we purċiss
