VATICAN CITY, AUGUST 16 (ZENIT.org).- Because of World Youth Day, Rome has become the setting for over 300 open air events, which began this afternoon and will continue until this coming Friday. The events include popular and classical music, plays, meetings with artists, writers, and witnesses of the faith.

This evening, St. John Lateran Square, the largest square in Rome, was the venue for the musical "Courage, All of You, Come," which narrates the unique story of St. Francis of Assisi.
