Last year, Pope Francis became the third Pope to visit the islands, with St John Paul II having visited Malta in 1990 and 2001, and Pope Benedict XVI having paid us a visit in 2010.
To commemorate the Papal visits to Malta, Malta Audio Visual Memories shared a series of clips showing Pope John Paul II in Malta a whopping 33 years ago.
It comes as no surprise that the islands came to a standstill when His Holiness arrived on the islands all those years ago.
Would you like to see another papal visit sometime in the near future?
