World Youth Day Pilgrimages
World Youth Day is a youth orientated Catholic Church event that takes place every two to three years in cities around the globe. It was established to make the message of Christ known to all young people worldwide. World Youth Day encourages the younger generations to share their faith among one another and give them a chance to meet like minded pilgrims in the process. It all began in 1985, when Pope John Paul II invited all the youth to Rome to celebrate Palm Sunday in St. Peter's Square. He declared this to be the first World Youth Day. For 2016, the city of Krakow in Poland will host this wonderful event. This great festival of faith, life and youth, takes place over 5 days in Krakow, building up to a wonderful encounter with the Pope, with an estimated 2,500,000 other young people.
