Malta - Assumption of Mary Church

I think the name of this church was the Assumption of Mary Church.  It has a huge dome.  And, it was built without scaffolding.  In fact, so the parishioners could continue to go to church, it was built over the top of an existing church.  People just kept going to the small church while the new one was constructed above them.

 

During WWII, the Nazis bombed Malta.  Three bombs fell near the church while there were three hundred people in the building.  Two hit just outside the church and failed to explode.  The third bomb pierced the dome and also failed to detonate.  Hard to argue that this is not a miracle.
