Assessing Jubilee 2025 and pilgrimages around Florence

The sacred event commenced on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2025, when the Holy Door of St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican was opened, thus commencing the Pilgrims of Hope Jubilee, which will be held until the Epiphany on January 6, 2026. Consisting of festivities, cultural experiences, and spiritual activities, the jubilee is expected to attract around 32 million pilgrims to Rome, with an undoubted crossover to Florence.
