The Vatican has all the original footage of Past World Youth Days, but the world hasn’t seen some of them. There are clips from time to time that gives us a glimpse of what it is like to experience world youth day in a different time and different country, but mostly just split second clips which somehow brings goosebumps and chills running down our spines whenever we hear young people shout “John Paul II, we Love You”. But now we have a 7 minute footage of the said World Youth Day happened in Czestochowa Poland which most of us have never seen before. This 7 minute clip is courtesy of Mr. Roy Gole from Poland who kept this footage all this years. The clip contains never before seen fotage of John Paul II’s final mass and Vigil with the youth in 1991. The 1991 World Youth Day in Czestochowais one of the most historical world youth days because it literally brought together young people from two countries divided by the wound and horror of the Nazi World War II. The Czestochowa World Youth Day also happened two years after the Polish Communism gave way to democratic form of Government and when Berlin Wall fell, which previously divided Germany into east and west, democratic and communist. For the first time, Germans and Polish young people where holding hands in unity for all the world to see. Below is the clip of the said event. In the background, crowds sing in unison the world youth day theme song “Abba Ojcze” of 1991 Czestochowa WYD.
