Pilgrims from across the world throng the streets of the Portuguese capital, with more than a million Catholics from across the globe expected in Lisbon for the world's largest Catholic gathering.

"We are more than a hundred people from our movement and almost 2500 people from India here at the WYD," Meljin Joseph proudly tells AFP, with the IT engineers calling their participation as "a glimpse of heaven." (Video Courtesy of AFP)
