Timmy Walsh Visitors to the Maltese islands are often befuddled when they notice that Maltese churches typically have two clocks on their façades, but showing different times! Traditionally it's claimed that the clock on the right shows the correct time for the faithful believers, whilst the clock on the left purposefully shows the wrong time so as to confuse Satan from disturbing the mass. 🙂
