“He took my hat, put it on, and looked me in the eyes as if saying, does it look good on me?”
During the pope’s greeting, he thanked everyone involved in organizing World Youth Day.

“He has been very sweet, he has truly been a father. He has also been excited with me.”
Youths worldwide picked this hat out. And pilgrims will receive it in a backpack along with a shirt and a rosary.
