| Abstract: | Professor J. Aquilina examines the social and religious consequences of the government’s decision to abolish six traditional public holidays that were also Catholic days of obligation. He reflects on the tension between national productivity and the preservation of Malta’s Christian heritage while noting the Bishops' decision to release workers from their religious duties to accommodate new work schedules. |
