Rome is preparing to welcome over half a million young people from 146 countries for the Jubilee of Youth, the largest event of the 2025 Catholic Holy Year.
The weeklong celebration, running from July 28 to August 3, will feature religious events, guided tours, and opportunities for spiritual growth, including access to the Holy Doors of the Papal Basilicas. Pilgrims from around the world—including large groups from Korea, Tanzania, Egypt, and the United States—are traveling to Rome to participate. Organizers describe the event as a unique opportunity for young people to experience hope, fraternity, and faith, likening it to a World Youth Day.
The Vatican and city officials are coordinating logistics to accommodate the influx of visitors, with livestreams available for those unable to attend in person.
