Worshippers have gathered to view the remains of a teenager who is poised to become the ‘first millennial.’

Glamtush reports that pilgrims have flocked to Assisi in Italy to view the preserved body of British-born Carlo Acutis ahead of his canonisation as a saint next month.

Acutis, who died aged 15 from leukemia in 2006, is to become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint after being credited with miracles since his death.

The London-born teenager was beatified by Pope Francis in 2020, who then approved Acutis’ canonisation last year, scheduled for April 27, 2025.

In keeping with his final wish, Acutis was buried in Assisi, laid to rest at the Sanctuary of the Spoliation in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in April 2019.

His body has been encased in a wax layer molded to look like his body prior to burial, allowing the faithful to see Acutis as he lived in his tomb, according to Aleteia.

 

The teenager has gathered a global following since his death.

Acutis is now to be canonised as a saint during the Church’s Jubilee of Teenagers, between April 25 and April 27, of this year.

The date was announced after a second miracle attributed to his intercession was confirmed in May 2024.

The mother of a Costa Rican woman involved in a serious bike accident had prayed at his glass casket and left a note asking for her to be healed in 2022.

The same day her daughter began to breathe independently and 10 days later she was discharged from intensive care because the haemorrhage in her brain had disappeared.

The Vatican also said that Acutis interceded from heaven in 2013 to cure a Brazilian boy suffering from a rare pancreatic disease.

Acutis was beatified in Assisi, the home of his idol Saint Francis, who dedicated his life to the care of the poor.

His mother said that her son also dedicated himself to supporting struggling classmates, would defend disabled friends who were being bullied, and would take meals out to homeless people across the city.

The 15-year-old died in Monza, Italy, in 2006 after moving to Milan as a child.

He has since been called “God’s influencer” and “the patron saint of the internet” because of his devotion to promoting his religious beliefs online before he died.

To become a saint, there is usually first a five-year wait for the process to begin. This allows for a period of reflection.

The bishop of the diocese where the person has died then investigates whether their life was holy enough to be deemed a “servant of God.”

Before his death, Acutis set up a website named, “The Eucharistic Miracles of the World” and enjoyed researching different miracles for the site.

His mother told The Times, “He was a computer genius, so this probably makes him very close to the people of nowadays.

“He was living the same lives as them, he liked to play video games, use the internet, like football.”

The teenager also helped the homeless and stood up for bullied classmates at school.

The Congregation for the Causes of Saints then looks at the case. If they approve, it is passed on to the Pope, who declares the subject a person of “heroic virtue.”

In July 2018, Pope Francis named him venerable, which helped him achieve the third of five stages towards becoming a saint.

For beatification, a miracle needs to happen to a person who has prayed to the person in question.

The person may then be canonised if a second miracle can be attributed to them.
