On January 21, Pope Francis designated 2024 as the year of prayer in preparation for the Year of Jubilee in 2025.“Jubilee” is the name given to a particular year; the name comes from the instrument used to mark its launch...
In 1300, Pope Boniface VIII called the first Jubilee, also known as a “Holy Year,” since it is a time in which God's holiness transforms us. The frequency of Holy Years has changed over time. The way in which Jubilee Years are marked has also changed through the centuries: originally the Holy Year consisted of a pilgrimage to the Roman Basilicas of St. Peter and St. Paul, later other signs were added, such as the Holy Door. By participating in the Holy Year, one is granted a plenary indulgence.- What is the Jubilee?
