Your answer was: Holy Year. |
Answer: The tradition of Holy Year dates back to 1300, when Pope Boniface VIII convoked the first Holy Year celebration. Jubilees have generally been celebrated approximately every 25-50 years, with extraordinary jubilees in addition depending on need. Catholic jubilees generally involve a pilgrimage to a sacred site, normally the city of Rome. In recent times, Holy Year celebrations have occurred approximately every 25 years. The Jubilee year 2025 is approaching and Saint Peter's Basilica is preparing for this great celebration of faith. Your Eminence, on 11 February Pope Francis described the Jubilee year as a "gift of grace" to be experienced through "pilgrimages, indulgences, living testimonies of faith." The Pope invites the Christian community to live the Holy Year "in all its pastoral significance." The 2025 Jubilee will be the Church’s first ordinary jubilee since St. John Paul II led The Great Jubilee of 2000. The twentieth anniversary of the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Ecclesia in Oceania of Saint John Paul II offers Vatican Philately the opportunity to begin a “virtual” pilgrimage around the world in preparation for the Jubilee 2025. The itinerary will consist of a biannual issue of a miniature sheet for each geographical area. In the philatelic sheet, the representation of a people on their way to meet Christ will mark the continuity of the issues, while the stamp will name the featured continent. The first issue is dedicated to Oceania. 'Saint Peter’s Basilica Preparing for 2025 Jubilee Year' by Vatican News on CatholicOutlook.org
