Our Lady of Victory Church

Eve of 8 September: The Knights of the Order of St John and the Maltese, led by Grand Master Jean Parisot de Valette, are victorious over the Ottoman invaders. Sorely depleted and unable to face a winter the great armada of Suleiman the Great sailed away bringing an end to the Great Siege. It is said an apparition of the Blessed Virgin and an armed warrior had terrified the enemy during the night.
