World Youth Day is the greatest concentration of young people in the world. Thousands of young people respond every two to three years to the Pope´s call to go on pilgrimage to a city of the world and manifest their faith in Christ. Madrid 2011 will be the latest World Youth Day since December 20, 1985, when John Paul II instituted WYD. Since that memorable date, there have been many youth encounters throughout the years. Specifically, there have been ten international WYDs in different locations throughout the world. Madrid 2011, therefore, will be the eleventh international WYD to be held since John Paul II instituted the days.
