Carlos Acutis is set to become the world’s first millennial saint. He will be canonised by Pope Francis on April 27.He was a British born Italian who built websites to spread his faith. He will be elevated to the level as Mother Teresa and Francis of Assisi.
His mother Antonia Salzano Acutis said that there was no doubt that he was special but he was just like any other teen.
Acutis learned several computer coding languages and developed websites for churches till the killer disease of leukaemia snatched him away at the tender age of 15 in 2006.
As per his last wishes, his body was moved to the hill town of Assisi and he was entombed with a wax mould of his likeness . Crowds of people have been gathering since then to get a glimpse of him. A number of miracles were attributed to his intercession with God.
