NgoLwesihlanu olungileyo, izitrato zaseMalta ziba yinqanaba elikhulu. Emva kwemini, amarhamente amaninzi akhumbula iNtshukumo kaKristu ngokusebenzisa imingcelele emangalisayo emele iPassion. Imifanekiso eqingqiweyo kaYesu Krestu phantsi koMnqamlezo idlula kwiindlela ezimxinwa zemizi yaseMalta, ilandelwa yimifanekiso eqingqiweyo eyahlukeneyo, kubandakanywa neyo Umama Wentlungu. Inani labathathi-nxaxheba, kubandakanywa abantwana, kunye nenyani liyamangalisa. Kumngcelele weŻebbuġ (Malta) abantu abangaphezu kwamakhulu asibhozo bathabatha inxaxheba. Ngexesha lamaxesha aphakathi, emva kokufika kwemiyalelo yokuqala yenkolo esiqithini, amasiko kunye nokuzinikela okuzukisa iPassion kaKristu kwaba yinto eqhelekileyo. AmaFranciscans, ahlala edityaniswa nokukhunjulwa kwePassion kaKristu, aseka i-archconfraternity yokuqala eMalta, eRabat, ezinikele kuSaint Joseph. Umhla ochanekileyo wesiseko sobuzalwana awaziwa, nangona iminyaka ye-1245 kunye ne-1345 ikhankanywe kwamanye amaxwebhu. Amalungu ale Archconfraternity ayengawokuqala eMalta ukukhumbula iPassion phakathi kwawo. Ekuhambeni kwexesha, i-archconfraternity yaqala ukumisela imifanekiso eqingqiweyo ebonisa iziqendu ezivela kwiPassion. Ukusukela ngo-1591, yaba sisiganeko sonyaka, rhoqo ngooLwezihlanu oLungileyo. Emva koko, amarhamente amanye amarhamente alungiselela umngcelele wePassion kwiilali zawo nakwizixeko zawo. Ukufika koMyalelo kaYohane oNgcwele kwandisa ngakumbi ukuzinikela kwiPassion, kwakhona ukubeka izinto, okokuqala kwiCawe yaseSaint Lawrence eVittoriosa kwaye kamva, kwiCawe yabo yeConventual yeSaint John. Ezi ziquka iqhekeza lomnqamlezo kaKristu kunye nameva avela kwisithsaba seNkosi yethu.
UMgqibelo oNgcwele ngolunye usuku lokuzingca, ubuncinci kude kube ngokuhlwa. Kwimibhiyozo yoMlindo we-Ista, eqala malunga nesibhozo, amakholwa ahlanganisana phambi kwecawe ukuya kumsitho okhethekileyo wokubhiyozela uvuko lukaKrestu. Ekuqaleni icawa ebumnyameni, kodwa xa i-Gloria iculwa, icawa iyakhanyiswa, iqala ngamakhandlela abanjwe ngabathembekileyo akhanyisa kwi-Paschal cero. Kuphethwa umlilo ngaphandle kwecawa, apho kubaswa i-cero. I-Paschal cero luphawu lukaKristu, ukukhanya kokwenyani okukhanyisela wonke umntu. Ukuvutha kwawo kufanekisela uvuko lukaKrestu, ubomi obutsha bonke abathembekileyo ababufumana kuKristu, othi, ngokubakrazula ebumnyameni, abangenise ebukumkanini bokukhanya. Iintsimbi zikhapha umbhiyozo, kwaye abathembekileyo bakhapha ikwayala kwiGloria.
Usuku lwePasika eMalta luphawulwa kukukhatywa okungapheliyo kweentsimbi zecawa, kunye nemibhiyozo, imingcelele ekhawulezayo, kunye nolutsha olubaleka ezitratweni luphethe imifanekiso eqingqiweyo kaKristu ovukileyo (l-Irxoxt). Eli lixesha lovuyo lokukhumbula ukoyisa kukaKristu ukufa. UKrestu Ovukileyo uhamba neqela lomculo lasekuhlaleni, elidlala iimatshi zemibhiyozo. Abantu baya kwiibhalkhoni zabo ukuya kuhlamba i-confetti kunye ne-ticker tape kumngcelele. Abantwana balandela umngcelele othwele i i-figolaokanye iqanda lePasika. I i-figola yidessert eqhelekileyo yaseMalta eyenziwe ngealmondi kwaye igqunywe ngeswekile engumgubo; le dessert inokuba nemo yomvundla, intlanzi, itakane, okanye intliziyo. Ngokwemveli, ezi iifigola basikelelwa ngumfundisi werhamente ngalo mbhiyozo.
Abantu baseMalta baziwa ngokuthanda ukutya, yaye iLent ikwanjalo. Iindidi zeendidi zokutya zendawo zidibene nezithethe zePasika. Phakathi kwezi, kukho kusksu, eyisuphu yeembotyi, kunye ne inqaku le-Appostli.

Kukho kwakhona i karamelli, iilekese zesintu ezenziwe ngecarobs kunye nobusi. Iintlanzi ezikhethekileyo kunye nezitya ezisekelwe kwimifuno zityiwa kakhulu, ngakumbi ngolwe-Ash ngoLwesithathu nangoLwesihlanu weLenten. Isonka esine<em>kunserva (i-tomato paste), iminquma, kunye netuna nazo zithandwa kakhulu. I-pastry egcwele i-waddings ezahlukeneyo (isipinatshi, ii-ertyisi, i-anchovies, itshizi njl njl), eyaziwa ngokuba qassatat kwaye ipastizzi (iikeyiki zamatshizi). Nge-Easter, yonke intsapho ihlanganisana isidlo sasemini, apho izitya zegusha zihanjiswa khona, kwaye i-figolaihanjiswa njenge dessert.
Kweli nqaku, ndisanda kudada kumaxesha okomoya amaninzi, imibhiyozo yenkolo, kunye nezithethe ze-Ista yaseMalta. Amandla okwenene eli xesha liNgcwele kukuthatha inxaxheba kwabantu kulo lonke uluhlu lwemisitho, yobuthixo kunye nemibhiyozo.
