The opening of the Holy Doors marks the beginning of the 2025 Jubilee which is a year of forgiveness, reconciliation and renewed focus on the spiritual life.

According to church teaching, Catholics who confess their sins during this time are forgiven and therefore released from the eternal or spiritual punishment of damnation. 

At the start of Christmas Eve Mass, Pope Francis pushed open the Holy Door in St Peter’s Basilica, which will stay open throughout the year to allow the estimated 32 million pilgrims projected to visit Rome to pass through.

Catholics worldwide watched the ritual unfold starting at 1pm ET as a web camera had been installed on St Peter's door. 

Pope Francis invited Catholics to focus on hope as the world suffers from the impacts of war, the ongoing effects of COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis.

For the first time, the Pope will also be opening a portal at the Rebibbia prison, Italy's largest correction facility, but as delivering a message of hope to prisoners.🥴
