Lednica 2000


The Poland-wide Youth Meeting Lednica 2000 is an annual gathering of Polish Catholic youth, organized near Gniezno in Pola Lednickie. It is the largest regular religious youth meeting in the world.
Lednica gatherings were initiated in 1997 by the Poznań-based Dominican friar Jan Góra. Since then, they are organized every year and always take place on the first Saturday of June.
Pope John Paul II sent an annual special message to participants of Lednica. This tradition was continued by his successor, Benedict XVI. After his papal resignation, the tradition is continued by pope Francis.
