Pope Benedict walks with youth from Latin America and Africa during World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany. (CNS file photo/Catholic Press Photo, PoolIn St Peter’s Basilica on the first week of January, tens of thousands of visitors saw him dressed in striking red posthumous vestments — the same as he wore in Sydney at World Youth Day in 2008. On January 5, he was buried in them.
“We had some beautiful memories there. One of the most lovely photographs is of him, and I happened to be beside him, on the row of the boat coming up Sydney Harbor on a perfect day for the opening Mass,” Cardinal Pell recalled. “It was beautiful.” World Youth Day in Madrid was the third and final of the events that Pope Benedict attended before his 2013 resignation.
But what really will go down in history of the Madrid event is the Saturday vigil. Aug. 20, 2011, was the hottest day of the summer in Spain, with a temperature reaching 102 degrees Fahrenheit. At night, the hot day transitioned to a brutal storm, with torrential rain and driving winds. Lightning struck the light towers, and make-shift chapels set up at the Cuatro Vientos airport collapsed.
