JUBILEE YEAR 2025
The logo for the 2025 Jubilee Year, Pilgrims of Hope, has multiple meanings:
FOUR FIGURES
The logo features four stylized figures from the four corners of the world, embracing each other to symbolize the unity of all people.
CROSS
The cross in the logo is shaped like a sail, which is a symbol of Christian hope. The cross also ends in the shape of an anchor, another symbol of hope. The cross bends down towards humanity, offering hope and certainty.
WAVES
The rough waves beneath the figures symbolize that life's journey is not always smooth.
ANCHOR
The anchor is a metaphor for hope. In maritime jargon, the "hope anchor" is the spare anchor used to stabilize a ship during storms.
MOTTO
The motto for the 2025 Jubilee Year is Peregrinantes in Spem, which means "Pilgrims of hope". It is written in green at the bottom of the logo.
The Jubilee Year is a time to re-establish relationships with God, with each other, and with creation.
(The logo was designed by Giacomo Trevisani, a young graphic designer from Puglia. He imagined people from all over the world moving towards a common future and a cross that represents Jesus).
