<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFil-Belt Cospicua, id-devozzjoni lejn San \u0120u\u017cepp, l-g\u0127arus kastissimu ta\u2019 Marija Ver\u0121ni, mhix nieqsa. Insibu Triq San \u0120u\u017cepp qrib fejn kien hemm il-Konservatorju ta\u2019 San \u0120u\u017cepp li l-kappella tieg\u0127u g\u0127adha tintu\u017ca wara li \u0121iet restawrata. Flok il-konservatorju llum hemm id-Dar ta\u2019 l-Anzjani. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fl-1716 il-mastrudaxxi kienu di\u0121a jag\u0127mlu l-festa tal-patrun tag\u0127hom San \u0120u\u017cepp fil-knisja parrokkjali u l-Fratellanza ta\u2019 San \u0120u\u017cepp kienet di\u0121a twaqqfet fl-1728 u kienu jag\u0127mlu l-festa nhar id-19 ta\u2019 Marzu u kellhom vara g\u0127all-pur\u010bissjoni. (1) Fl-1780 twaqqfet Konfraternita’ o\u0127ra fil-knisja ta\u2019 Santa Tere\u017ca fejn wkoll hemm vara ta\u2019 San \u0120u\u017cepp. Qabel saret il-vara ta\u2019 San \u0120u\u017cepp minn Abram Gatt kien hemm o\u0127ra li kienet skolpita mill-iskultur Pawlu Azzopardi fl-1843 u wara li saret il-\u0121dida ng\u0127atat lill-parro\u010b\u010ba ta\u2019 Marsaxlokk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kif Saret Il – Vara<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dwar kif saret il-vara ta\u2019 San \u0120u\u017cepp kien g\u0127addieli tag\u0127rif interessanti Noe Farrugia, li kien i\u0127obb lill-qaddis kif ukoll lil Bormla. Kitibli li Abram kien i\u0127obb ukoll lil San \u0120u\u017cepp hekk illi ried jag\u0127mel ie\u0127or flok dak li kien hemm. Kien ta\u2019 fommu sieket u g\u0127alhekk qabad ja\u0127dem fuq abbozz bla ma qal xejn g\u0127alkemm mal-Fratellanza ntwera\u2019 l-\u0127sieb li ssir vara \u0121dida, imma din riedet li l-ewwel isir ventartal tal-fidda. Meta l-Fratellanza rat li Abram ma riedx jag\u0127mel disinn ordnaw wie\u0127ed l-Isla imma meta dan wasal kien hemm \u0127afna li bdew igergru. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minn hemm u minn hawn re\u0121g\u0127u kellmu lil Abram u sar arran\u0121ament li jag\u0127mel San \u0120u\u017cepp u tahom il-kelma li jag\u0127mlilhom abbozz. Dan \u0121eneralment jie\u0127u \u010bertu \u017cmien imma Abram kien di\u0121a la\u0127aq lesta l-abbozz. Meta fi \u017cmien qasir urihulhom kul\u0127add baqa\u2019 skantat u kien hemm min t\u0127asseb jekk Abram jasalx biex ilesti dik il-bi\u010b\u010ba xog\u0127ol! Imma Abram di\u0121a kellu l-pjan lest, talab lill-Ammirall biex jixtri njama kbira u tajba kif xtaq hu. Malli waslet beda x-xog\u0127ol u wie\u0127ed jista\u2019 jobsor kif Abram intilef fil-\u0127idma biex il-\u0127olma li kellu sse\u0127\u0127. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fl-a\u0127\u0127ar din l-istatwa meqjusa b\u0127ala kapolavur tlestiet u kul\u0127add stag\u0127\u0121eb bir-reqqa u l-\u0127ila fix-xog\u0127ol minn kull na\u0127a. Kien tant \u0127are\u0121 li w\u0127ud qalu li dnub jin\u017cebag\u0127, \u0127afna kienu tal-fehma li xog\u0127ol hekk mirqum kien jo\u0127ro\u0121 aktar kieku kellu jibqa\u2019 njam. Il-vara ttie\u0127det g\u0127all-wirja l-Belt u refug\u0127ha x-shipwrights <\/em>Bormli\u017ci, li wkoll \u0121abuha lura. Jing\u0127ad ukoll li din il-vara n\u017cebg\u0127et mill-istess Abram. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Din l-istatwa famu\u017ca g\u0127adha tista\u2019 titgawda fil-knisja parrokkjali ta\u2019 Bormla u kull sena ssir il-festa f\u2019Mejju (2).
