A huge crowd attended a mass with Pope Benedict in Poland on Sunday (May 28) as he prepared to visit the Auschwitz death camp to pray as leader of the world's Roman Catholics and a "son of Germany".
Benedict said mass for more than 900,000 people in a field in Krakow where John Paul II, his Polish predecessor, traditionally held huge gatherings with his countrymen before returning to Rome.
The crowd waved a sea of banners and flags while Benedict passed through on a "popemobile" car at the start of the event -- a scene reminiscent of John Paul's visits.
In his sermon, Benedict urged Poland, which has one of the world's most active Christian communities, to "share with the other people of the world the treasure of your faith" as a fitting and lasting tribute to Pope John Paul.
Many in the crowd were moved to tears.
"It is an incredible feeling to be participating in a mass in Krakow being held by Pope Benedict XVI while he is in Poland. As you can see a lot of people want to participate in this religious ceremony to renew their faith and life. I think this is the most important thing during the visit," Konrad Sowinski told Reuters.
"I was crossing my fingers that he would be elected Pope. He was the best candidate after our Pope," Mariusz Grzybowsky said.
The trip was due to reach a poignant climax on Sunday afternoon when he was to visit the most infamous of the death camps that his countrymen set up and ran during World War Two.
Any visit by a Pontiff to a camp where nearly 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, were murdered in World War Two is a highly charged event, evoking such complex issues as Christian-Jewish relations, German guilt and the evil in the world.
