HISTORY OF THE WYD• On 1984, Pope John Paul II gave a

Cross to the young people of the world, with these words: "Take it around the world as sign of the love of the Lord Jesus".

• Since 1987 the Cross has gone on a pilgrimage around the world visiting the countries that host the WYD.

• On 2003 the Pope also gave them a copy of the icon of Mary, Salus Populi Romani, and since then the Cross and Icon journey together.
