The Maltese word „miġja” can have a couple of meanings depending on the context:
- Coming, arrival: This is the most general meaning of “miġja”. It can refer to the arrival of a person, object, or event. For instance, you might say “Il-miġja tiegħu kienet sorpriża” (His arrival was a surprise).
- The Coming (of Saint Paul): In Maltese literature, “Il-Miġja” (The Coming) specifically refers to the arrival of Saint Paul on the Maltese islands after his shipwreck. There’s even a historical novel titled “Il-Miġja” based on this event.
