Every 25 years, The Catholic Church in Italy holds a “Jubilee” year, drawing millions to Rome.
So, what is the Jubilee?
The Jubilee is a year marked every 25 years in the Catholic Church known as a “Holy Year”. The Catholic Church uses this time to canonize new saints (for example, the Blessed Carlo Acutis will be canonized a saint on April 27th), Pilgrimages to the Holy Doors, concerts, specific art exhibitions, and many more events held for Catholics who wish to attend.

Most events are happening in Vatican City, but that doesn’t mean Rome won’t be busy. With the estimated 32 million people expected to visit Rome & Vatican City during the year, it will make for a very busy and exciting year around Rome.
