Verġni Marija Kewkba Tal-Baħar

This is the Stella Maris parish church in Sliema, dedicated to Mary under the title 'Star of the Sea' — a title with deep roots in maritime devotion. The name itself comes from a ancient Marian hymn, and the church celebrates its feast day as a major solemnity. It's a meaningful stop if you're curious about Malta's layered Catholic identity, where the sea and faith have always been intertwined.
