class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The Jubilee, or Holy Year, is a special event in the Catholic Church that is typically celebrated every 25 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It has traditionally been a time of reflection, forgiveness, and pilgrimage, offering spiritual indulgences to those who participated in its rites and traditions. For the 2025 Jubilee, Pope Francis chose the theme &#8220;Pilgrims of Hope,&#8221; emphasizing unity, compassion, and renewal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_brief_history_of_the_Jubilee_tradition\"><\/span>A brief history of the Jubilee tradition<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The origins of the Jubilee date back to ancient Jewish customs, where every 50th year was a time of rest, debt forgiveness, and renewal. The Catholic Church adopted this concept in 1300 when Pope Boniface VIII declared the first Christian Jubilee.
