Шаблон:Short description A procession on Christmas Eve is a common part of Christmas celebrations in Malta. The tradition originates in a procession led by Saint George Preca (Шаблон:Lang-mt) in Hamrun in 1921, and spread across the island over the next two decades.[1][2] In order to curtail mishaps of crowd impacting, spectators are encouraged to watch the procession from windows and balconies.[3]

The procession of the Baby Jesus was not held by the Archdiocese of Malta for two years during the COVID-19 pandemic, but resumed in 2022. Children dress up as figures from the Bible, accompanied by the singing of Christmas carols.[2][4]
