Pope Francis to open Holy Doors during Christmas liturgie

Pope Francis will commence the Jubilee of Hope with Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica on the night of Christmas eve, opening the Holy Door of the Vatican Basilica.

On Christmas Day, the Pope will deliver his traditional Urbi et Orbi address and blessing “To the City and the World”. Then, on the feast of St. Stephen, December 26, the Holy Father will preside at Mass in Rome’s Rebibbia prison to open the only Holy Door not in a papal basilica.

Should you be interested in attending the celebratory events at St. Peter's Square, no tickets are necessitated. Kindly register via the official Jubilee website at the following URL:
