Adolescent Carlo Acutis is the first saint of the millennium in the world

On Sunday, the first holy millennium was canonized by Pope Leo, thousands of people who attended the ceremony in Rome.

Carlo Acutis, an Italian boy born in London, died of leukemia in 2006, at the age of 15.

He was labeled “The Patron of the Internet” for his work recording online miracles and the management of websites for Catholic organizations.

An image of Carlo Acutis was suspended on the place of Saint-Pierre while the pope praised the faith of the young man.

A second man was also canonized, Pier Giorgio Frassati, an Italian mountaineering enthusiast who served the poor and the sick, and died in 1925.
