Pilgrims lined up early Wednesday to walk through the great Holy Door at the entrance of St. Peter's Basilica, as Christmas marked the start of the 2025 Holy Year celebration
The article from ABC27 discusses the preparations for the 2025 Holy Year, a significant event in the Catholic Church that occurs every 25 years. Pilgrims are already making their way through the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, marking the beginning of this jubilee year. Pope Francis has emphasized themes of hope and peace, especially in light of global conflicts. The Holy Year, which officially starts on December 24, 2024, and ends on January 6, 2026, is expected to draw millions of pilgrims to Rome, seeking spiritual renewal and indulgences. The Vatican has planned various events and has opened the Holy Door, symbolizing a passage to salvation, earlier than usual to accommodate the influx of visitors. Additionally, the article touches on the logistical preparations, including the restoration of churches and the setup of facilities to manage the large crowds expected during this period.
