The Jubilee of Youth saw Pope Leo XIV trying for the first time to find his way in a crowd with millions of people.
He looked hesitant at times, and a little unsure of his own character.
Since then however, and following huge events in Spain and in France, the pope has emerged as the most natural leader of these huge Masses since John Paul II.
Here are some of the amazing highlights of the incredible journey to Argentina.
