Pope Francis is set to open the 2025 Holy Year, a significant celebration in the Catholic Church that is expected to attract around 32 million pilgrims to Rome. The Holy Year tradition, occurring once every 25 years, will commence with the Pope pushing open the great Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica during Christmas Eve Mass.
The theme of hope will be central to the 2025 Jubilee, with Pope Francis emphasizing this message by opening a Holy Door at Rome’s Rebibbia prison to inspire inmates towards a brighter future. Security measures have been heightened around the Vatican following recent events, with increased police presence and surveillance in Rome.
