Chapels' Feasts for year  

(These are actually "small churches" [knejjes żgħar], since a true "chapel" [kappella] is located inside another building, such as a major church, hospital, palace, or band club, according to Naxxar historian Paul Catania. Here, the term "feast" refers to the special occasions when these small churches are decorated or opened to the public.)
