Kirkop is situated in the southern region of Malta, in the proximity of the Malta International Airport. The original village name was Casal Prokopju. There are various theories about the origins of the village name, some claim to be from a family name whilst others believe it is from Sicilian origins. The village motto is “Parva non Iners” which means “Small but not empty”. At Kirkop they celebrate the feast of Saint Leonard and Saint Joseph. During both feats, the village is transformed by artistic decorations and festive dress rich in traditional fireworks and band marches. The feast of St Joseph is celebrated on the 2nd Sunday in July, whilst the feast of St. Leonard is celebrated on the first Sunday following the feast of St. Mary (celebrated on the 15th August).
