Faith, Hope and Charity

After the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, a reminder of the country’s Catholic faith, and the hope following the delivery of the vaccine, charity takes centre stage as the country’s main charity telethon L-Istrina kicked off at 12pm.

Held every year on Boxing Day since 1995, L-Istrina raises funds for the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation, which uses the money to help people requiring rare or expensive medical treatment to get the care they need.
