The Jubilee Year was originally intended to be marked as a time to re-establish a proper relationship with God, with one another, and with all of creation, and involved the forgiveness of debts, the return of misappropriated land, and a fallow period for the fields. The concept of “Jubilee” has its origins in the Book of Leviticus as a special year of reconciliation, pilgrimage, and coming home. https://dioceseofvenice.org/jubilee-2025-pilgrims-of-hope/
Today, Pope Francis has designated the 2025 Holy Year as a time to renew ourselves as “Pilgrims of Hope.”
