Journey of the World Youth Day Cross and Icon

We’ve just seen them outside our office!

My manager has quickly run up to my window (which made me quickly hide the Diatribe window) and asked “What are they doing?!!” And we saw those schoolchildren carrying a flag, a huge banner with something about youth, cross, and icon on it, and John Paul II, then there were guys with something like a board which we couldn’t see, but later guessed that was the icon, and behind them - more children with a huge cross! The poor guys with cross were obviously falling behind, so it’s probably really heavy.

I guess if there are Catholics here they would already know about this celebration, but I thought others may be interested too to have a look, especially minding that the children continued walking, so maybe you’ll see them.

That looked very impressive.
