The Cross and Icon which John Paul II gave in 1984 to youth and, since then, it moves through countries and continents, reached yesterday by boat to the harbor of Santiago Apostle in St. Lucia to be the focus of an event organized by the Cartagena Youth Ministry in collaboration with the City of Cartagena, which was represented by the councilman of Social Care, Antonio Calderon, and was attended by hundreds of people.
This religious symbol, which was a gift from Pope John Paul II to young people, is to preside over the celebration of World Youth Conference to be held in 2011 in Madrid, but before through the streets of our city and then the cross and the icon was given to the vicar of the Mar Menor.
