Hello,
My name is Rita, I am brazilian and wanted to make a correction to the article, Christ the Redeemer doesn’t stand on top of the Pao de Acucar mountain, but on top of the Corcovado Mountain. Also, the colors of the brazilian flag include white.
I am very happy that my country will host the WYD in 2013.
Thank you!!
