During this time fireworks were lit as an expression of celebration and rejoicing, such as the birth of a prince, the election of a Pope who was the leader of the Order, and the election of a Grand Master.<\/p>\n<p>Fireworks continued to be a mark of festivity in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> and 20<sup>th<\/sup> centuries and today continue to wow the crowds of Malta\u2019s hectic festival calendar.<\/p>\n<p>The Malta International Fireworks Festival 2012 is being held at the Grand Harbour, which has been used since at least Phoenician times, and, being Malta\u2019s greatest geographical asset, provides a perfect setting for a spectacular firework display.<\/p>\n<p>The event will include the fireworks made from various factories on Malta as well as the fireworks from two international firework manufacturers that will give the event a more foreign flavour. This sensational and awe-inspiring display will be synchronised to music and, we can safely assume, will be an unforgettable experience for all the family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2012 is rapidly approaching and you may have started thinking about your next year\u2019s holiday itinerary.
