The canonisation of a British Italian<\/a> teenager as the first millennial saint has been postponed due to the Pope’s death<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Carlo Acutis, who died of acute leukemia in 2006 when he was 15, created a website cataloguing more than 100 eucharistic miracles recognised by the Catholic church. <\/p>\n

The young web designer started the site in 2004 and worked on it for two and a half years, involving much of his family in the project. <\/p>\n

It was unveiled just days before he passed away.<\/p>\n

Each miracle on the site was translated into twenty languages and accompanied with images, maps and video.<\/p>\n

Around ten years ago a group of priests and friends of Carlo started an initiative to have Carlo sainted. <\/p>\n

He was named ‘venerable’ in 2018 after the church recognised his virtuous life, and his body was taken to a shrine in Assisi\u2019s Santuario della Spogliazione.<\/p>\n

He was then declared ‘blessed’ in 2020 after the Vatican dicastery, which studies sainthood processes, found the ‘scientifically inexplainable’ recovery of a sick child in Brazil was down to the youngster touching one of Carlo’s t-shirts.<\/p>\n

Last year, the church attributed a second miracle to him – the complete recovery of a Costa Rican student in Italy from major head trauma in a bicycle accident – after her mother prayed at Carlo’s tomb.<\/p>\n

This paved the way to his canonization, which was supposed to happen next Sunday, but will now be postponed.<\/p>\n
