Daniel, maybe this is not the tragedy that it appears at first, but the achievement of two destines in one. A passing of the torch so to speak!

Thank you, Frank! The germ of the story came to me a few years ago when I actually was on that very island. Malta is such a wonderful country to visit.

At the beginning I thought this was going to be about Luke Skywalker. 😆

Poignant tragedy of "faith" and love. We believe what we want to believe, see what we want to see. But often it's a sad reality behind our grand illusions.

You’re right. That illustration looks a lot like Luke in that most recent Star Wars film. I can’t remember the name of it, and I have to admit I walked out of it because I was so disappointed.

That’s so kind of you to say. I have a few disparate (but niche) interests in obscure things like Late Antique and Medieval religious history. When it comes to subject matters outside of such things, I start flailing in the dark. 😂
