Rome is set to welcome over half a million young people from 146 countries for the Jubilee of Youth, the largest event of the 2025 Holy Year, taking place from July 28 to August 3. The weeklong celebration will feature religious gatherings, vigils, and special access to the Holy Doors of the Papal Basilicas, with Pope Francis expected to play a central role.
Pilgrims from around the world, including large groups from Korea, Egypt, the United States, and Africa, are making the journey to participate in this unique spiritual event. Organizers emphasize the Jubilee as a chance for young people to foster hope, fraternity, and peace in a world marked by conflict.
