Its concept has been influenced by the <a href="/wiki/Light-Life_Movement" title="Light-Life Movement">Light-Life Movement</a> that has existed in Poland since the 1960s, where during summer camps Catholic young adults over 13 days of camp celebrated a "day of community". For the first celebration of WYD in 1986, bishops were invited to schedule an annual youth event to be held every <a href="/wiki/Palm_Sunday" title="Palm Sunday">Palm Sunday</a> in their dioceses. Nicknamed "The Catholic Woodstock", it is celebrated at the <a href="/wiki/Diocese" title="Diocese">diocesan</a> level annually—in most places on Palm Sunday from 1986 to 2020, and from 2021 on <a href="/wiki/Christ_the_King_Sunday" class="mw-redirect" title="Christ the King Sunday">Christ the King Sunday</a>—and at the international level every two to three years at different locations.

The most emphasized and well known traditional theme is the unity and presence of numerous cultures. Flags and other national declarations are displayed among mainly young people to show their attendance at the events and proclaim their own themes of <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Catholicism</a>. Such is usually done through chants and singing of other national songs involving a Catholic theme. </p><p>Over the course of the major events taking place, national objects are traded between pilgrims. Flags, shirts, crosses, and other Catholic icons are carried amongst pilgrims which are later traded as souvenirs to other people from different countries. A unity of acceptance among people is also common, with all cultures coming together to appreciate one another. </p><p>Other widely recognized traditions include the Pope's public appearance, commencing with his arrival around the city in the "<a href="/wiki/Popemobile" title="Popemobile">Popemobile</a>" and then with his final Mass held at the event. A festival in Sydney (2008) recorded an estimated distance of a 10-kilometre walk as roads and other public transport systems were closed off. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Pope_Benedict_XVI" title="Pope Benedict XVI">Pope Benedict XVI</a> criticized the tendency to view WYD as a kind of <a href="/wiki/Rock_festival" title="Rock festival">rock festival</a>; he stressed that the event should not be considered a "variant of modern youth culture" but as the fruition of a "long exterior and interior path".<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=World_Youth_Day&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1987_to_1993">1987 to 1993</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=World_Youth_Day&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: 1987 to 1993"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>1987 WYD was held in <a href="/wiki/Buenos_Aires" title="Buenos Aires">Buenos Aires</a>, <a href="/wiki/Argentina" title="Argentina">Argentina</a>. 1989 WYD took place in <a href="/wiki/Santiago_de_Compostela" title="Santiago de Compostela">Santiago de Compostela</a>, <a href="/wiki/Spain" title="Spain">Spain</a>. 1991 WYD was held in <a href="/wiki/Cz%C4%99stochowa" title="Częstochowa">Częstochowa</a>, <a href="/wiki/Poland" title="Poland">Poland</a>. <a href="/wiki/World_Youth_Day_1993" title="World Youth Day 1993">1993 WYD</a> was celebrated in <a href="/wiki/Denver" title="Denver">Denver</a>, Colorado, <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1995_to_2005">1995 to 2005</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=World_Youth_Day&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: 1995 to 2005"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cologne_2005_WYD.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5d/Cologne_2005_WYD.jpg/220px-Cologne_2005_WYD.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5d/Cologne_2005_WYD.jpg/330px-Cologne_2005_WYD.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5d/Cologne_2005_WYD.jpg/440px-Cologne_2005_WYD.jpg 2x" data-file-width="720" data-file-height="540" /></a><figcaption>A view of the celebratory vibe outside the Cologne Cathedral in Germany (2005).
