This Christmas, Maltese florist David Grech got the huge honour of helping with the decorations of St Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican.

David was ecstatic about this opportunity and dedicated this honour to his late father.

“I dedicate this honour to my late father who must surely be proud up in heavens. We miss you Papa”, he captioned a series of photos of him with the floral arrangements he created at the Vatican.

In a video uploaded to his Facebook page, David even gave viewers a detailed explanation of the flower arrangements that were placed right behind the pope during the Christmas day celebrations.

Congratulations David on your amazing work!
