The girl who had the colours and paint brush started painting just like a painter. The one who had the book began to explain just like teachers do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The girl who had the camera focused on a scene and took a photo just like a photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When all the children finished their mime, one girl said to the teacher, \u201cSir, this is like what my mother did to my little sister when she turned one year old. It is called il-qu\u010b\u010bija but I don\u2019t know what it really means.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, you are right!\u201d exclaimed the teacher. \u201cWhat we did today is called il-qu\u010b\u010bija, and our friend Pete will tell us all about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a moment, Pete began, \u201cIl-qu\u010b\u010bija is a Maltese tradition which has been practiced in Malta since the 18th century. Il-qu\u010b\u010bija is done at the baby\u2019s first birthday party. The family and friends encourage the baby to crawl over to the objects which are placed on the floor or tray and to choose one. According to tradition, the first item picked represents the child\u2019s career or profession, trades or lifestyle of the boy or girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The objects used can be various, such as a ball, a comb, a mirror, a paint brush, a rosary bead, a calculator, pair of scissors, a book, a musical instrument, money or credit card, ballet shoes, a hammer, an egg, a computer mouse or a mobile phone.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-3-picture-4-836x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12384\" width=\"418\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-3-picture-4-836x1024.jpg 836w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-3-picture-4-245x300.jpg 245w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-3-picture-4-768x941.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-3-picture-4-1254x1536.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-3-picture-4-1672x2048.jpg 1672w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-3-picture-4-800x980.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-3-picture-4-1200x1470.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The children were very grateful to learn something new and thanked their friend Pete for all the information about il-qu\u010b\u010bija.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the teacher turned to the girl and asked her,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo you remember what item your sister had picked up during il-qu\u010b\u010bija?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, I remember, sir. She had picked up a mirror because she saw her reflection in it and wanted to kiss and hug the beautiful face of the girl that was her own reflection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVery well,\u201d said the teacher and continued,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cso now I invite you to come in front of the big mirrors which you usually dance in front of. Take as much time as you need to look at the mirror. Look closely at yourself. Then hug the most wonderful thing you see in you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can either be something beautiful in your physique, personality, character, or else a good quality or talent that God has given you. Then say a thought or a thank-you prayer to God for your beautiful personality or quality you like; for example, being generous or a talent that He has given you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drama session ended with the children sharing a prayer of thanks together for their amazing talents in dancing, acting, singing, and playing musical instruments that make so many people happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then they wrote a beautiful message on a paper and attached it to the mirror. The message read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are a boy or a girl, remember that God has created you in His own image. You are unique and very special in the eyes of God who loves just the way you are.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-tab kt-tab-inner-content kt-inner-tab-3 kt-inner-tab_7474a7-c1\"><div class=\"kt-tab-inner-content-inner\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dimostrate e Nominate \u2013 Tradizione Maltese<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\u201cForza, sbrigatevi,\u201d disse l\u2019insegnante di recitazione e di ballo ai ragazzi.<br>\u201cAndate e cercate il vostro cuscino che sta nel mezzo della sala e sedetevi su di esso.
