The official icon of the World Meeting of Families has been unveiled, which means it will be present in all events taking place in this massive family gathering in Philadelphia next year.
It was designed by American artist Neilson Carlin. It's unusual because it includes Jesus' grandparents: St. Joachim and St. Anna.
The next World Meeting of Families will be held in September 2015. It's held every three years and thousands of people attend. More than a million people gathered in Milan in 2012 and in Valencia in 2006.
