The Archdiocese of Malta has presented a ring to Mgr Prospero Grech O.S.A. to mark his episcopal ordination today.

The ring was designed by  Joseph Galea and the gold work was entrusted to Vanni Bartolo. The ring shows St Paul holding a cross, with a viper leaping from a bonfire after the saint was shipwrecked in Malta. 

The Curia said the ring represents the seal of faith and love between a bishop and the Church, like spouses in marriage.
