Take a look around you: everything speaks of God. The language is that mediated by art and beauty, but the word it transmits is that of God received in Christian faith. The voice that speaks the message is, of course, that of Jesus Christ whose most revered presence, in any Catholic church, lies in the Blessed Sacrament. Catholics are expected to focus their veneration on Christ, present in the Eucharist. In this, according to Catholic belief, they are joined by the angels and saints. The vault above you, painted by Roman artist Giovanni Battista Conti in the mid-twentieth century, teems with angels and saints who bear witness with the Christians worshipping in this church to God’s glory. Foremost among the saints is the Great Martyr George in whose name this church is, from time immemorial, dedicated.

The decoration of the whole ceiling, made in pasta and stucco, is by Ġużeppi Galea of Rabat, Malta. The ceiling in the eight side chapels has both decorations in pasta and mosaic representations corresponding with the dedication of the respective altars. The remarkable stone reredoses adorning the altars in five of these chapels date back to the seventeenth century, and thankfully enough these were preserved in their entirity when the altars were moved back in the 1930s. Four wooden confessionaries in the side aisles serve for the daily administration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, or Confessions.

Christians are initiated in the life of grace through the holy sacrament of Baptism, as is shown by the Baptismal Font and the seventeenth-century inscription above it, found to the right hand side of the main door, as you enter.
