The titular painting was done by Pietro Gagliardi in Rome. The statue of San Gejtanu is the work of eminent Maltese sculptor Charles Darmanin and was completed in 1885. There is great rivalry between the two band clubs, which makes for one of the most exciting feasts in Malta. Supporters of the band clubs surround their respective marching band decked out in clothes and head bands and carrying flags of the same colour as that of their club. At times, the confetti look like a heavy snow storm.
Little children run around playing with the mounds of paper that are left behind the marching bands.
In the evening, local band clubs play on a band stand adjacent to the parish church. Locals and visitors walk back and forth along the main street under colourful lights and banners. The streets are lined with statues of saints and angels. The procession leaves the church early in the evening and winds its way around the city. The festa ends with a spectacular run up the stairs of the Parish Church.
