Catholic Jubilee

For centuries, the Catholic Church has celebrated jubilee years.  These are times of pilgrimage, repentance, forgiveness, and redemption.  Pope Francis has designated 2025 as a jubilee year.  It began on Christmas Eve 2024, where the pope opened the door to St. Peter's Basilica.  Those of us who can't make the trip to Rome to see for ourselves, can view this awesome basilica digitally.  La Basilica di San Pietro – Microsoft Unlocked

Another jubilee sight to appreciate is the Jubilee Mascot.  I think of the digital video of St. Peter's as the adult's entertainment.  This Mascot is for the youth.


She is called "Luce".  Luce is Italian for "light."  You need light to see on a pilgrimage.  You tell you are on a pilgrimage because there're seashells in Luce's eyes, she has a walking stick and is dressed for weather with muddy boots.  Seashells are iconic symbols for walking on a pilgrimage. She must be Catholic because she wears a rosary.  Luce is ready to journey through life's storms. She is drawn in anime style to appeal to young people.
