World Youth Day (WYD) is the gathering of young people from all over the world with the Pope. It is also a pilgrimage, a celebration of youth, an expression of the universal Church and an intense moment of evangelization for the youth world. Although its Catholic identity is clearly evident, WYD opens its doors to everyone, no matter how close to or distant from the Church they are. 

WYD will take place in Portugal from 1 to 6 of August 2023. Pope Francis will be there

Parade with blessing in front of the local church, decorated streets, horse carriages, music ....

This Fest has ancient origins in pagan cults and was Christianised in the 14th century by the portuguese Holy Queen Isabel.

At the base of each tray is a basket, covered by a white cloth on which a structure is erected to support 30 loaves of bread, weighing 400 grams each, and a crown topped by the Christ's Cross, the armillary sphere, a navigational instrument transformed into a royal symbol, or a white dove, representing a divinity. In between are dozens of paper flowers, in an allusion to the story of Holy Queen Isabel and the miracle of the roses. Each tray is accompanied by a man and a woman, the woman being responsible for carrying it on her head. The structure weighs between 15 and 18 kilos, and if there is an imbalance her pair helps her, otherwise men do nothing....
