Description
Vetches (Gulbiena or Gurbiena) are grown in Malta to be used as a Christmas decoration. According to ancient Maltese tradition, light-deprived vetch seeds are grown over a period of a few weeks and placed next to the statue of the baby Jesus in the manger. This is done to decorate the crib. Over the years, gulbiena was used as a more generic Christmas decoration and is used to decorate houses and churches over the Christmas period. In Malta, vetch seeds are usually planted on the 7th December in order to be at their best for Christmas.
