Good Friday parade, Zejtun, Malta
Herod - The Gospels say that Pontius Pilate sent Christ to Herod for him to judge. In the Zejtun Procession the figure of Herod escorted by a cohort of soldiers walks in front of the Statue of the Scourging at the Pillar
Last week I was in Malta again, and one of the things I was very keen to shoot was the Good Friday parade in Zejtun. However having lost a day to the bank holiday yesterday and I've been processing so many great images that I'm way behind schedule already this week. So today's post is a bit of a teaser for a more detailed one next week.
