35,000 flowers and plants from the Netherlands are displayed in St. Peter's Square during these Easter days. It is a tradition that began with the beatification of Titus Brandsma.

Charles Lansdorp has been in charge of Easter floral decoration at the Vatican since 1987. For him and his team, the preparations last all year long.
