A Real Jubilee:
- In Catholicism, a Jubilee year (also known as a Holy Year) is a special time of grace, conversion, and spiritual renewal.
- The first Catholic Jubilee year was declared in 1300 with ordinary Jubilees taking place every 25 years, though some extraordinary Jubilees were declared for special reasons by a pope, like the Jubilee of Mercy in 2015-2016.
- The last Jubilee (not including the Jubilee of Mercy), was back in 2000, special because it marked 2000 years since the birth of Christ.
- This year’s theme is set to be Pilgrims of Hope, with Pope Francis describing the hope dwelling in every heart, even when the future is unknown, as central to the Jubilee.
