Day one of the 9th. youth festival... Today way the opening day of the fest. and it all started with the prayer of the holy rosary, after the rosary the participants were greeted by young people from 60 countries and on more than 54 languages. The opening words by our pastor Fr. Petar Vlasic followed and the main celebrant of the mass was the provincial and pas past pastor of our parish Fr. Ivan Sesar. 311 priest concelebrated at mass. The whole evening was more than overwhelming, I would say that this years youth fest outnumbered all of the previous years. Anyhow, here is set of four photos to present the atmosphere from here visually. :-)
