Crowd of people flock to Vaticanfor the sanctification of the 15 -year -old “Influencer of God”, Carlo Akatis, who becomes the first one Saint of the millennium.
Thousands of faithful wanted to attend the ceremony with Pope Leo, in the Vatican, for the young Carlo, who before becoming Saint, created websites that document “miracles” as a means of spreading universal teaching.
It is estimated that more than a million believers wanted to worship in the Italian city of Assisi, the body of Carlo, which is maintained in wax.
Also, once the sanctification of Carlo Akis was announced, people are flocking to the Church of Our Lady of Dolours in London, as the BBC reports, as it is at the back of it, there is a swimming pool where the “influencer of God” was baptized in 1991.
Next to the church, an old confession has become a sanctuary dedicated to Carlos and in it, a case contains a 15 -year -old hair.
“His family was involved in finances and were temporarily working in London,” says Paul Addison, a monk of the church. “Although they did not go to church often, they decided to come and ask to baptize the child. So Carlo was a glow, a very great glow, in the life of the parish community, “he adds.

As a teenager he created a website where miracles were recorded and slowly, he gained fanatical readers from around the world.

Carlo died of leukemia at the age of 15 and since then, his mother, Antonia Salzano, visited churches around the world to support his sanctification. She had to prove that her son had done “miracles”.
“The first miracle did it on the funeral day,” said Carlo’s mother. “A woman with breast cancer prayed for Carlos and had to start chemotherapy, but the cancer completely disappeared,” she explained.
