In Malta Easter has been the focus of great festivities, in the churches which have been beautifully decorated, as well as the family observances.
Today, the EURO is the Malta currency. The Euro replaced the old currency of Malta (i.e. the Maltese Lira) on the 1st of January 2008.
Malta has a Subtropical–Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and warm to hot summers. Rain occurs mainly in winter, with summer being generally dry.
