A teenager named Carlo Acutis from Italy put together this amazing display. Born May 3, 1991, Carlo Acutis was an Italian Roman Catholic teenager known for his cheerful demeanor and computer science skills. Carlo also had a deep devotion to the Eucharist, which he put into action by documenting Eucharistic miracles from around the world and cataloging them. When he contracted leukemia, Carlo offered his suffering up for the pope and the Church. He died in 2006 at the age of 15. On October 10, 2020, Carlo Acutis was beatified at a special Mass in the city of Assisi, putting the late teenager just one step away from sainthood.
