The Holy Father received the Spanish cardinal in audience on Monday, during which he updated the Pontiff on the preparations for the youth day, which will take place Aug. 16-24 in Madrid.
The World Youth Day backpack is yellow and red — the colors of the Spanish flag — and carries the official 2011 World Youth Day logo. In side the pack, participants will find a rosary, a Pilgrim’s Booklet, a guidebook to World Youth Day, a Youcat (the youth catechism), an access pass for public transportation, a cap, and a fan.
