The people of Mosta gathered at their church for shelter from bombs in a heavy WW II German air raid. One bomb dropped directly on the dome of the church piercing it, falling among the 150 people gathered and skidding across the floor. It did not explode. Not a single person was harmed.
The bomb sits in the church today among the few faithful who still remember the raid and their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who remember their stories.
Today the geometric perfection of the Mosta Dome and the circular church supporting it are exquisitely restored.
