He still went mountain hiking or skiing when he was the Pope. • In 1984, he established World Youth Daywith the intention of bringing young Catholics from all parts of the world together to celebrate the faith. 2010/2011 Discover the World Anew: famous Poles 5

A lot of them had a feeling, that they had an opportunity to talk to a saint man. Since the death of John Paul II, a number of clergy at the Vatican and laymen throughout the world have been referring to the late pontiff as "John Paul the Great”. Several national and municipal public projects were named to honour the Pope, for example the Roma Termini station was dedicated to Pope John Paul II by a vote of the City Council, the first public object in Rome named a non Italian. 2010/2011 Discover the World Anew: famous Poles 6
