Jubilee 2025: Opening the Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

On Christmas Eve, Pope Francis will open the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica, marking the beginning of the Jubilee of Hope—an extraordinary event that only occurs every 25 years. This sacred moment is a powerful symbol of grace, forgiveness, and peace, as part of the centuries-old tradition inaugurated by Pope Alexander VI. We explore the significance of the Holy Door, its deep spiritual meaning, and the history behind the sacred site, from the original door of St. Peter’s Basilica to the modern bronze doors we see today. EWTN News goes inside the Vatican’s hidden archives and shares exclusive insights into the profound legacy of this momentous occasion.
