Jubilee 2025 

  The Holy Door

One of the most characteristic signs of the Jubilee is the Opening of the Holy Door, which marks its official beginning. 

Why the Holy Door? Jesus says, “I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture” (John 10:7).

The Jubilee Holy Door symbolises one’s decision to be a disciple of Jesus, to follow and be guided by Him, who is the Good Shepherd.

This door also represents a welcoming pathway into a church, into a sacred place - a place of encounter, dialogue, reconciliation, peace, communion.

The Church awaits every pilgrim to cross this threshold and experience for themselves the space of the Church as a community of Christ’s disciples.
