The Making of the de Valette Sword: Intro / History
This is the intro video for the short series on how the de Valette sword is created. Starting with a little bit of history of the Great Siege of Malta in 1565 and Grand Master Jean Parisot de Valette who wielded this amazing sword in battle against the invading Turks.
About the sword:
This is the sword wielded by Grand Master Jean de Valette in the defence of the island during the Great Siege of Malta in 1565.
Tradition has it that the Grand Master upon victory over the Ottoman Turks placed his personal side-sword and hat in the chapel of Our Lady of Damascus as an ex voto [offering] for the conclusion of the Great Siege of 1565.
What many people do not know is that this sword has been in Malta, and exhibited to the public for all these years.
While documentary evidence for or against this tradition is limited, there is no doubt that both artefacts, currently displayed in the Oratory of St. Joseph in Birgu (Vittoriosa), date back to the right time period.
The miniature was originally created as a replica lapel pin for the Malta Historical Fencing Association, which has created real size practice replicas and adopted it as it’s main sword. On popular request, it was later also reproduced as a pendant.
This miniature is just 5cm long and crafted from eight separate pieces in four soldering sessions. All specimens are individually hand crafted from .925 Sterling Silver and as such are unique works of art.

The Tapestries at St John's Co-Cathedral, Malta
An original account by the curator, Cynthia de Giorgio on The Majestic Tapestries found within St John's Co-Cathedral.
These magnificent tapestries were gifted to the conventual church by Gand Master Ramon Perrellos. They were based on a set of modelli by Peter Paul Rubens in around 1620 and delivered to Malta in February 1702. The tapestries were painstakingly hand woven in Brussels by a team of weavers and can be seen at the St John’s Co-cathedral Museum. The collection is currently scattered between a number of rooms, however they will be re-united as a dramatic and complete set upon realisation of the museum renovation project.
Please feel free to share with the world this breath taking national gem.

[한국어 정보]
이슬람의 휴일이자 성일인 금요일, 사원은 기도하러 모여드는 사람들로 붐빈다. 705년 우마이야 왕조시절 세워진 이 사원은 다마스쿠스 최고의 명소이자 이슬람 4대 사원의 하나다. 1997년 세계문화유산으로 등록된 이 사원은 이슬람 제국의 수도였던 전성기의 영광을 그대로 보여주고 있다. 이사원이 지닌 또 다른 의미는 오랜 풍상 속에서도 이슬람교와 기독교가 어우러진 현장이란 사실에 있다. 원래 이곳은 원주민인 아람인들의 신을 모신 신전이었으나 로마시대엔 주피터 신전, 비잔틴 시대에는 교회, 이슬람 시대에 와선 사원으로 탈바꿈한 곳이다. 지배세력이 변함에 따라 건물의 용도가 바뀐 것이다. 사원 자체에 시리아의 역사가 그대로 담겨져 있는 것이다. 기도 전 사람들은 몸을 깨끗이 씻는데 무슬림들이 지켜야 할 기본이라고 한다. 예배당은 동서 길이만 130미터에 이르는데, 화려하면서도 성스러운 분위기를 느낄 수 있다. 메카를 향한 남쪽 벽에 예배의 표상으로 삼는 미흐라브를 설치한 것도 이 곳이 처음이라고 한다. 사원은 예배 시간마다 무슬림들로 가득 찬다. 1326년 이 사원을 둘러 본 아랍 여행가 이븐 바투타는 ‘이 사원에서의 절 한 번은 다른 곳의 3만 번과 맞먹는다.’ 고 말했을 정도로 우마이야 사원은 이슬람교도들의 성전으로 추앙받는 곳이다. 사원 안에는 특별한 무덤이 하나 있다. 바로 헤롯왕 에게 목을 잘렸다는 세례요한의 머리무덤. 과거 교회가 있던 자리에 사원을 세우면서 무덤을 그대로 둔 탓에 남아있는 것이다. 바로 한 종교의 사원 안에 묻힌 다른 종교의 성자를 경배한다는 건 쉽게 상상할 수 없는 일이다. 그러나 무슬림들은 신앙 4조에 따라 다른 종교의 성자들을 자기 종교의 성자처럼 경배한다고 한다. “(세례 요한은) 선지자의 한분이죠. 코란에 잘 기록되어 있어요.” 예배가 끝나면 사원은 또 다른 공간이 된다. 뛰어노는 아이들, 낮잠을 즐기는 사람, 책을 읽는 사람 등 다양한 모습이 펼쳐지는 휴식처가 되는 것이다. 엄격하기만 할 것이라는 이슬람에 대한 이미지는 나의 편견일 뿐 이었다. 관광객들도 자유롭게 드나들며 마음껏 사진을 찍을 수 있었다.
