The Jubilee of 2025

The Jubilee of 2025 will begin on December 24, 2024, with the opening of the Holy Door and will last until January 6, 2026.

For pilgrims from all over the world, it will be a unique opportunity to embark on a spiritual journey with religious tours that allow you to visit the various papal basilicas and Jubilee traditions, or with the Vatican City Pass, granting access to iconic locations.

The Jubilee is a special year of grace when the Catholic Church offers the faithful the chance to receive the plenary indulgence, meaning the forgiveness of sins for themselves or deceased relatives.

The most moving and well-known ritual is undoubtedly the opening of the Holy Door. This door is only opened during the Jubilee year, and the 4 main ones are the major basilicas of Rome: St. Peter's, St. John Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls, and St. Mary Major. The first to open is St. Peter's Basilica, while the others follow in the coming days and remain open until the end of the Jubilee, when they are sealed again.

The last Jubilee was the extraordinary one of 2015, initiated by Pope Francis. The Jubilee in 2025 will thus be the second under Pope Francis.
