The country that purposely displays wrong time

The clock on the right tells the time to help the parishioners, but the one on the left is deliberately wrong, working hard to confuse the devil and ensure he cannot turn up and disrupt the church services.

Hyderabad: You walk on the streets and notice that the churches in this country have two clocks, both showing different times. Confusing, isn’t it?

That is how the visitors felt when they visited Malta, a country in Europe that intentionally puts up two clocks on the churches.

This is a tradition in Malta, whereby most churches bear two clocks, usually one on each of their two spires. The clock on the right tells the time to help the parishioners, but the one on the left is deliberately wrong, working hard to confuse the devil and ensure he cannot turn up and disrupt the church services.

With around 350 churches in the city and almost all of them having two different clocks, the residents never get confused with the wrong time.

So,if you are planning to visit Malta, make sure to take your watch along with you!
