Feast of St. Paul's Shipwreck
Tuesday, 10 Feb 2026 · Malta · Nationwide · Public holiday
Bridge day check
Falls on a Tuesday. Book the Monday off and you get a four-day weekend — expect a lot of colleagues to do exactly that.
Book off 9 Feb 2026 for 4 days off.
What the day is for
10 February marks the apostle's wreck on Malta in AD 60, the founding story of Maltese Christianity. The statue of St Paul is carried through Valletta with band marches and confetti.
Do shops and banks close?
Public holiday; banks and offices close, retail patchy.
Getting around
Sunday timetables; the Valletta procession closes Republic Street and its side roads.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
