Deep dives

Introduction to Jubilee Year

The concept of a Jubilee Year, rooted in Catholic tradition, is highlighted as a special time for grace and forgiveness. Historically, a Jubilee Year was celebrated every 50 years in Hebrew tradition, marking the freeing of slaves and forgiveness of debts. In Christianity, this practice was initiated in 1300 by Pope Boniface VIII, with subsequent events occurring every 25 years, offering faithful believers opportunities for plenary indulgences and spiritual renewal. This year, the church designates 2025 as a Jubilee Year, emphasizing the theme of hope as a means to restore connections and offer a fresh start.
