Join a once-every-quarter-century spiritual celebration

Rome, Italy

Every 25 years, Italy’s capital celebrates a Jubilee. This momentous Catholic festivity is returning in 2025, with millions of pilgrims descending on the city. The celebrations begin in late December 2024 with the rite of the Opening of the Holy Door – normally sealed shut with mortar and cement – in the papal basilicas including St Peter’s and St John Lateran’s. The year will see a calendar of masses, processions, pilgrimages and free visits to shrines and holy sites. This includes the Seven Churches Pilgrimage, which began in the sixteenth century and involves a 25km walk through the city and countryside between the major basilicas.
