The 2025 Jubilee Cross designed by Riccardo Izzi will accompany pilgrims to the Holy Door

The official Cross of the 2025 Jubilee, the central symbol of the Holy Year pilgrimage, has been revealed.

The official Cross of the 2025 Holy Year will be handed to pilgrim group leaders to accompany them as they walk towards and through the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica. The precious cross was created by Italian master carpenter and craftsman Riccardo Izzi.

The Cross will be delivered by volunteers to the various group leaders before each group of pilgrims begins the journey towards the Holy Door. The cross, which is made of fine wood and carefully hand-crafted, features, on the front, a depiction of the glorious Christ, a sign of Hope for the world, in a time of great global crises, in which men and women cry out their need for hope. On the other side of the cross is the official logo of the 2025 Jubilee, a symbol of hope for the faithful from all over the world.
