Il-bidu ta' l-Għaqda

Fl-1986 grupp ta dilettanti Maltin iddecidew li jingħaqdu flimkien u jorganizzaw wirja ta’ presepju żgħar. Is-suċċess ta’ din il-wirja kien il-bidu tal-Għaqda Ħbieb tal-presepju Malta. L-iskop ewlieni ta’ din l-għaqda kien wieħed sempliċi, imma impenjattivi; dak li jerġa iqajjem id-drawwa tal-bini tal-presepju fid-djar Maltin. Bil-mod il-mod, it-tradizzjoni tal-presepju f’Malta reħget bdiet tinfirex, u llum, nistgħu ngħidu li l-iskop tal-Għaqda qed jintlaħaq permezz ta’ lectures u korsijiet li jingħataw lill-membri u ħbieb tal-Għaqda, u permezz ta’ wirjiet li jsiru fl-irħula Maltin.

In 1986, a group of Maltese enthusiasts decided to join forces and organize an exhibition of small cribs. The success of this exhibition marked the beginning of the Għaqda Ħbieb tal-Presepju Malta.

The main aim of this association was simple but ambitious: to revive the tradition of building cribs in Maltese homes. Gradually, the tradition of the crib in Malta began to spread again, and today we can say that the association’s goal is being achieved through lectures and courses offered to members and friends of the association, as well as through exhibitions held in Maltese villages.
