The celebration was held at the Xewkija Rotunda. The original plan to hold the celebration in the area in front of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Graces in Victoria had to be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. It coincided with the day on which Pope Francis ended  the extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy.  During the ceremony, which focused on the image of the Crucifix, various groups talked about their voluntary work experience during the summer. In his address, which rounded up the celebration, Bishop Grech said that the crucifixion of Christ is a confirmation of what a merciless society can do.  He emphasised that we all should identify mercy with the Crucified Christ.
