40 Years of Traveling

40년간 전 세계를 순례한 ‘WYD 십자가’

Responding to Saint John Paul II's call for them to carry the Cross "throughout the world as a symbol of Christ’s love for humanity," young people have accompanied the WYD Cross on its pilgrimage around the world for over 40 years. On November 24, 2024, young people of Seoul continued this tradition, bringing the WYD Cross back to their country.

By carrying the Cross in Asia
you proclaim the love of Christ to all."
