Archipelago Fishing Fishing Village Luzzu Malta Maltese Marsaxlokk South Southern Ancient Tradition Melita Osiris
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the essence of Malta, Europe's charming fishing village of Marsaxlokk. The focal point is a fleet of colourful traditional Maltese boats known as luzzu, which are deeply rooted in the island's ancient fishing industry. These eye-catching vessels feature two eyes painted on their bows, an intriguing detail steeped in legend and folklore. According to local belief, these eyes symbolize the watchful gaze of Osiris, the Egyptian god associated with rebirth and protection. It is said that these divine eyes safeguard fishermen from harm while out at sea and bring them good fortune upon their return. This ancient tradition has been passed down through generations, preserving both cultural heritage and maritime superstition. The reflection of these captivating luzzus shimmering on the calm Mediterranean waters adds a touch of serenity to this picturesque scene. Set against the backdrop of Marsaxlokk's idyllic port, surrounded by centuries-old architecture and quaint streets, it becomes evident why this village remains a hub for traditional fishing practices. As you admire this stunning image captured by KS for Discover Images by AWL, allow yourself to be transported to this enchanting corner of Malta where time seems to stand still. Immerse yourself in its rich history and embrace the vibrant colours that epitomize life in this southern European archipelago.
