World Youth Day is a pilgrimage for all the young catholics from all over the world to congregate in the host country every 3-4 years. During this event usually lasting between 1 & 2 weeks, young people come together from all nationalities to share and deepen their faith with each other. You get a chance to visit different cultures and experience their lives as you live in their communities with locals hosting the young people for a week before the event. During the pilgrimage, they partake in activities, conferences and work with the local people of the communities. The pilgrimage ends with a midnight vigil with the pope, millions of people sleep out under the stars, sharing in prayer and mass with the Pope.
