Like past years, the Floriana Local Council is organizing the annual activity 'Ġenna ta' Ġonna'. During this activity, a number of organizations that give direct contribution in various ways in Floriana, take part by organizing an activity to fill this day in the best way.

The Saint Publius Martyr Chapel, as in previous years, will take part. The curators of this chapel have prepared a special program, not only for the occasion of 'Ġenna ta' Ġonna', but also for the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the opening of the Chapel. This Chapel is located in Bishop Mauro Caruana Street in Floriana. In 2004, a group of young altar servers of the parish wished to have a place where they could learn more about the saint and patron of Malta, Saint Publius. Since that time, the chapel has always evolved, and where this chapel used to serve as a meeting place for children, today it is taken care of by a group of hardworking young men who give great dedication to make the chapel look immaculate. In this chapel, one can find various sacred objects, ancient artifacts, documents, sculptures dating back to the second world war, and many more things related to Floriana and Saint Publius. In fact, this chapel is considered the museum full of history in the heart of Floriana.

Therefore, on 20 October, in this anniversary, the Chapel will be open from 11:00 to 16:00. This time, two extensions of the same chapel will also be opened, full of objects that one is amazed to see. Apart from the fact that the Chapel is celebrating its twenty years, Floriana is commemorating the third centenary of its foundation. Therefore, there will also be some items linked to the story of Floriana.

But the highlight of this activity is reached precisely through the demonstration with the statue of the Chapel sculpted by the sculptor, Mr. Publio Aguis. This is a perfect replica of the titular statue of Saint Publius carved in wood by the sculptor Vincenzo Dimech in 1811. At 11:00 a march performed by the local band (Società Filarmonika Vilhena) begins. At around 11:15, the band welcomes the statue at the door of the Chapel. From there a demonstration will take place that will pass through the streets; Market Street, Saint Publius Street, Saint Tomas Street, Argotti Street, Lion Street, Conservatory Street, Mall Street, we cross the Mall, Saint Publius Square, Saint Publius Street, Saint Tomas Street, Saint Franscis Street, Gunlayer Street and back to Bishop Mauro Caruana Street. In this demonstration everyone is encouraged to attend and take part.

Finally, the curators of the Saint Publius Martyr Chapel would like to thank a large number of volunteers who over these twenty years worked and strove to shape the Chapel into what it is today. Your attendance at this activity is greatly appreciated. We must continue to work and strengthen the Tradition left to us by our ancestors, so that the Maltese Festa as we know it does not die but continues to be strengthened.
