This evening during World Youth Day's vigil prayer several young people from around the world will share their personal stories of suffering and faith, the event's organizers say.
Those who have been through difficult situations in life and have found a reason to live their Catholic faith, will share their stories before Pope Francis on the main stage at Copacabana Beach as part of an artistic scene.
"These testimonies are interspersed between the construction of a church, which includes choreographic elements and scenes," said Ulises Cruz, the artistic director.
Actor Tony Ramos will be the master of ceremony.
