The Grand Priory of the Maltese Islands celebrated the feast of St Paul's Shipwreck with Holy mass at the Sanctuary of Saint Publius at Rabat, Malta. The mass was celebrated by Senior Chaplain Father Thomas Moore and a good number of members from the Grand Priory and its Gozo Commandary. The account of Paul’s shipwreck and the three-month winter time stay on Malta can be found in the Bible’s Acts 27:27 through 28:11. Nevertheless it is to be noted that the Bible says the storm was in the Adriatic Sea, though Malta borders the Ionian Sea and this is because in ancient times, the Adriatic’s boundaries were considered to extend much further south.
