This year, for the first time, one of the doors will be opened in Rebibbia Prison.
It will soon be time to open the portals once more Pope Francis is preparing to unbrick and open five ‘sacred portals’ symbolising the doorway to salvation. The doors have not been opened for 25 years, since the turn of the Millennium, so may well be a little rusty. This year, for the first time, one of the doors will be opened in a prison, as a ‘sign inviting prisoners to look to the future with hope’, the Pope said in his bull of indiction announcing this year’s ceremony.
In Rebibbia Prison, the process will be different as it is the main door of the prison which will be used as a symbol for all prisons in the world. The ‘Christ Child’ displayed on a keffiyeh scarf as part of the ‘Nativity of Bethlehem 2024’ at the Vatican Pope Francis said he hoped the Jubilee would be ‘a moment of genuine, personal encounter with the Lord Jesus, the “door” of our salvation’.
