World Youth Day 2008 has kicked off in Sydney!
Masses of pilgrims from across the globe have descended upon Sydney to catch a glimpse of his Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI in our own backyard.
Draped in their countries flags and colours, the pilgrims are doing just as much sight-seeing as religious activities during their stay in Sydney. And they’re not being quiet about it!
The activity of the youth has created an enthusiastic, unifying vibe throughout the CBD – a collective feeling not experienced since the Sydney Olympics.
The hordes of energized young people (numbers estimated to be over 125,000) will be visiting various parts of Sydney over the coming days to attend WYD affiliated events including: the Papal Motorcade through Sydney CBD streets on Thursday the 17th of July as well as a re-enactment of the last moments of Jesus' life - kicking off at St Mary's Cathedral and finishing in the Domain on Friday the 18th.
