Rome Welcomes Families to Enjoy its Jubilee Year

This year is a special year for Rome. Every 25 years, the city celebrates a Jubilee Year, a Holy Year that focuses on renewal and reconciliation, and, as this year’s celebrations get underway, the city prepares to welcome 30 million visitors to take part in the festivities and take advantage of the opportunity to explore the Eternal City. The Jubilee Year officially kicked off Christmas Eve in 2024 and will end this December, and this year’s Jubilee theme is Pilgrims of Hope. Although the celebration is a Catholic tradition, marking the Jubilee Year a Holy Year, the tradition has its roots in Judaism and focuses on reconciliation and restoring relationships with God.
