World Youth Day 2011

World Youth Day (or in short 'WYD') was initiated by Pope John Paul II in 1986. It is celebrated on a diocesan level annually, and at a week-long international level in a different country every three years. The international level events attract hundreds of thousands of youth from almost every country on the planet.  The next WYD is August 2011 in Madrid, Spain.
