Culture of Zejtun

In the parish church one can find a crucifix, the 'sotto quadro', that portrays the Jesus Christ dead on his mother Mary. This work of art is attributed to Antonio Mamo and was made in 1727 for a sum of 40 scuds. In the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows this chapel decorated with damasc.

Also in the parish church, in the chapel of Our Lady of Charity one can find the painting that represent The Madonna with John under the cross. This painting depicts the Gospel of John when Jesus Christ from the cross told: "Woman, here is your son", and then told to the apostle: "Here is your mother." This painting is attributed to the artist from Żejtun, Toussaints Busuttil (1912–1994). In the museum of the parish church one can also find another painting that represent the sorrow that passed from it Mary.

Apart from these paintings, in the parish church there is also statues that march in the procession of Good Friday. One is known by the people of Żejtun as 'Tal-Pietà' (of Pietà). This is a statue with four figures. The Madonna with Jesus dead on her with Joseph from Arimathea and Nicodemo. This statue is made in Lecce by the firm Capoccia and was done on copy of the statue of the famous Michelangelo in St. Peter's Basilica. This statue was brought to Żejtun in 1965 by Frankie Grima.
