Every 25 years, the Catholic Church invites the faithful to celebrate a Jubilee—a holy year of renewal, forgiveness, and pilgrimage. In 2025, Italy will once again become the spiritual center of the world as it welcomes millions of pilgrims to the Jubilee Year, known as Iubilaeum 2025.
The theme of this Jubilee is “Pilgrims of Hope,” calling people from all walks of life to journey toward peace, spiritual reflection, and unity. Rooted in centuries of tradition, the Jubilee includes symbolic gestures known as the “Signs of the Jubilee”, each reflecting the heart of Christian faith and hospitality.
One of the most iconic features of any Jubilee is the opening of the Holy Doors—rarely-used doors at Rome’s four major basilicas, opened only during Jubilee Years. Passing through them is considered an act of spiritual renewal and grace.
Another powerful symbol is the Jubilee Cross, a sign of God’s mercy and a reminder of the journey of faith. Special emphasis will also be placed on acts of solidarity and service—such as care for the poor, prisoners, and the sick—highlighting the call to live out mercy in daily life.
For travelers and pilgrims alike, Jubilee 2025 is more than a religious event—it’s a unique opportunity to experience the beauty, heritage, and spirituality of Rome and Italy, from historic basilicas and ancient pathways to heartfelt moments of reflection.
