Tickets now available for the Reading of the Bull of Indiction of the Jubilee with the Pope on 9 May

On Thursday 9 May, at 5.30 pm, on the solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord, Pope Francis will officially proclaim the ordinary Jubilee of 2025 with the public reading and delivery of the Bull of Indiction in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.

After the reading of the Bull, the Holy Father will preside over Second Vespers of the solemnity inside the Basilica.

It is possible to participate in the ceremony and the prayer liturgy by requesting free tickets on the Jubilee website: https://www.iubilaeum2025.va/en/richiesta-biglietti-bolla-papale.html  Tickets can be collected at the Info Point, in Via della Conciliazione 7, Rome, from 3 to 9 May 2024, from 10am to 5pm.

The Bull is an official document with the seal of the Pope, which, in addition to indicating the opening and closing dates of the Holy Year, and setting out how it will be celebrated, makes known the themes of the Jubilee and the terms in which it is announced by the Pontiff. For this ordinary Jubilee Year, as we know, the theme chosen is "Pilgrims of Hope".
