Saving the Sacred Siġra tas-Salib: A Tree with a Twist of Legends and Love!

Aug 6 2023

Arnold Sciberras, the charismatic Professional Pest Control Consultant, has taken on an unusual mission – to preserve a natural monument that holds a special place in the hearts of many Maltese people. It all began with a local tree that was struck by lightning, transforming its bark into a striking image of Jesus on the cross.

For believers, it became a place of pilgrimage and awe, while skeptics saw it as a psychological phenomenon called pareidolia. The Crucifix Tree, also known as the Jesus Tree, became an island legend, featuring in guidebooks and even national newspapers. However, as time passed, the tree faced decay and damage, prompting Arnold to step up with a heartfelt plea to preserve what is left of this beloved landmark.

The Exterminator team is eager to offer their contribution, free of charge, to save the tree, with one condition – to find a suitable indoor location, like a chapel or church, where it can truly be cherished and protected. Join Arnold and his team in this enchanting mission to keep the magic of the Siġra tas-Salib alive and thriving!
