| About Naxxar: |
The Naxxar Locality is spread over an area of eleven
kilometers squared and has a population of over eleven
thousand persons. The whole locality comprises the Naxxar
centre, Sghajtar area, Santa Marija tax-Xaghra, San
Pawl tat-Targa, Birguma, Maghtab, Salina, Bahar ic-Caghaq
and part of Madliena.
According to tradition, the people of Naxxar were amongst
the first to help the shipwrecked, including Saint Paul,
when the ship he was on went aground on the rocks. For
this reason many connect the name Naxxar with Nassar
(Nasra) which means 'conversion to Christianity'. Others
insist that the name comes from Nsara or Nazaroei
which means 'those who believe in the wisdom of Christ
who came from Nazareth and thus Nozri'. Others say
that the word Naxxar means 'one who saws, separates
or cuts' it might be worth mentioning that in Naxxar
there are a lot of stone masons. |
