World Youth Day is an international event focused on faith and youth and organized by the Catholic Church. Initiated by Polish-born Pope John-Paul II in 1985 it has already become a tradition readily endorsed by his successors – Popes Benedict XVI and Francis.

The 2016 World Youth Day in Krakow will mark 30 years since first official World Youth Day gathering.

Pope Francis will take part in this year’s World Youth Day celebrations in Krakow and will then celebrate Holy Mass in the Shrine of Czestochowa on the occasion of the 1,050th anniversary of the baptism of Poland.

Meanwhile, the video with dancing nuns is going viral online, which means that there will be a whole lot of pilgrims flocking to Krakow this year.
