Abstract: L-arloġġ tas-Santwarju f'Ħaż-Żabbar idoqq il-melodija tal-Ave Marija, li tfakkar fid-devozzjoni lejn il-Madonna ta' Lourdes. Din id-devozzjoni żdiedet bil-qawwi f'Ħaż-Żabbar malli Dun Alwig Catania sar Kappillan fl-1925. Dun Alwig Catania kellu x-xewqa li l-arloġġ tal-knisja idoqq l-Ave Marija bħal dak li kien impressjonah f'Lourdes, li tlesta fl-1908 u jinsab f'kampnar għoli 70 metru. Fl-1930, Catania ddeċieda li jissostitwixxi l-arloġġ antik tal-1753 b'wieħed ġdid li jdoqq din il-melodija. Il-kappillan ikkommisjona lil arloġġar Matli Salvu Demanuele, li kien ħadem ukoll arloġġi għall-barracks ta' St. Andrew's u s-Santwarju tal-Mellieħa. Demanuele bena l-arloġġ ta' Ħaż-Żabbar fi 14-il xahar, u lestih f'Awwissu tal-1931. Minħabba l-kriżi ekonomika bejn iż-żewġ gwerer, il-prezz tal-bronż kien għoli ħafna, għalhekk il-Kappillan Catania ddeċieda li l-qniepen isiru mill-ħadid. Matul is-snin saritilhom ħsara minħabba l-elementi u fis-snin ħamsin espert kien ġa ta l-parir li jidgawdew kemm jistgħu u jinbidlu, fil-fatt fl-2009 bil-ħeġġa u l-impenn ta' Dun Sebastjan Caruana nbidlu b'sett ġdid mid-ditta Franċiża Packard ta' Annecy.2009-01-01T00:00:00ZIl-verita dwar il-"misteru" ta' Ħaġar Qim/library/oar/handle/123456789/1348672025-04-30T10:11:40Z2001-10-28T00:00:00ZTitle: Il-verita dwar il-"misteru" ta' Ħaġar Qim

Abstract: This article considers cycles of interaction and isolation within the small islands of the central Mediterranean. It analyses these holistically, reflecting the manner in which the cycles appear to have been influenced by processes and historical phenomena that operated beyond the island groups. Available data on interaction from the different islands is compared and fluctuations in exchange networks between the 6th and 2nd millennium BC are identified. The article highlights similarities and differences in patterns of interaction between islands and mainlands and, particularly, changing demands for raw materials, the diverse motives for interaction and the shifting directions of such interaction. It is argued that cyclic patterns of interaction occurred and that small islands played a vital role in central Mediterranean exchange networks at particular periods.2010-01-01T00:00:00Z
