Abstract: The article commemorates the 50th anniversary of the national Marian pilgrimage held on November 19, 1944. It recounts the historic event where the statue of the Immaculate Conception was returned from Birkirkara to Cospicua, fulfilling a wartime vow made during the Blitz to celebrate the end of Malta's involvement in World War II.
