Pope Francis to Open the Holy Door at Rebibbia Prison | A Jubilee of Hope
In an extraordinary gesture of mercy and solidarity, Pope Francis will personally open the Holy Door at Rebibbia Prison in Rome on December 26th. This unique door, the only one besides Saint Peter’s Basilica to be opened by the Pope himself, symbolizes hope not just for the prisoners but for all confined communities worldwide.
From inmates crafting a special gift for the Pope to the chaplain’s daily mission of restoring hope, this event highlights the profound human dignity of those often overlooked. The Holy Door’s opening represents a new beginning, echoing the Jubilee’s theme: Spes non Confundit—Hope Does Not Disappoint.
