SYDNEY-Members of a New Zealand Maori cultural group prepare to perform a traditional “Haka” war dance for pilgrims during World Youth Day activities in July. Billed by the church as the world’s biggest Christian festival for young people, the event drew thousands of pilgrims to Australia for a six-day celebration of music, faith, and worship with the likes of Cardinal George Pell of Australia and Pope Benedict XVI. Its closing Mass drew more than 400,000 participants.
