St. Paul's Grotto - Rabat, Malta
Visiting the cave under The Collegiate church of St Paul in Rabat, where the Apostle Paul took refuge after he was shipwrecked on the island of Malta (Acts 27:27-28:5) - November 6, 2019
The grotto is the place where according to tradition St Paul lived and preached during his three months stay in Malta in 60 A.D.
The fascinating St. Paul's Grotto is set beneath the beautiful St. Paul's Church in Rabat. According to the Book of Acts it was here that St. Paul and his missionary party took refugee after their ship wrecked on the island of Malta on their way from Crete to Rome. It was also after their arrival to St. Paul's Grotto in Malta that they began preaching about Christianity to the Maltese people.
St. Paul spent 3 months in the grotto in Rabat that is now so famous that Pope Benedict visited St. Paul's Grotto to pray during his visit to Malta in 2010 and so did Pope John Paul II in 1990.
During his stay, The Act of Aposteles tells us how St. Paul healed several people during his stay among whom was St. Publius who was the father of the governor at that time. St. Paul's Grotto in Rabat became one of the earliest places of Christian worship on the island and St. Paul's gift of healing and him remaining unharmed after a snakebite made the locals regard him as a God.
The Church of St. Paul was built on top of the grotto in the 17th century and holds a statue of St. Paul. From the Grotto you can also take a set of stairs leading under the road to the Second World War air raid shelters and Wignacourt Museum.
Rabat, • St. Paul's Grotto • The ghosts of Underground tombs of St Paul , MALTA
The area of catacombs is a small part of a fascinating labyrinth of 3rd-century AD subterranean tombs. These hypogea form part of the Roman necropolis, and it is still possible to visit a large number of underground burial chambers in the immediate area of St Paul's Grotto. Burials used to take place outside the city walls
Shelters in Malta were crucial in order to saves the lives of many people once World War II broke out. These World War II shelters consist of about 50 rooms and circa 350 people used to come down and take refuge here during air raids.
