| Abstract: | Il-bini tan-niċeċ f'Malta għandu tofsora kemm reliġju'a kif ukoll dik tas-superstizzjoni bil-maġġoranza tagħhom iddedikati lil Ġesu Kristu', lill-Madonna, jew lill-qaddisin, bl-aktar popolari l-patrun ta' dak ir-raħal. Jidher li din it-tradizzjoni tan-niċeċ bdiet fi żmien il-Kavallieri fl-postijiet fejn l-iktar kienu jigħxu huma, u kien hawn bosta skulturi li kienu jaħdmu dawn in-niċeċ. Sfurtunatament, ħafna minnhom issa ntilfu hekk kif meta taqa' binja b'niċċa rari terġa tinbena n-niċċa, iżda baqa' ftit mhux ħażin, waħda minnhom dik tal-Madonna taċ-Ċintura l-Gudja. |
