THE HOLY DOOR AND THE JUBILEE 2025
the Sacred rite of the opening of the Holy Door in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican was repeated for the Jubilee of 2025.
For this occasion, RAI TV interviewed Ferdinando Marinelli Jr. in Fonderia.
The Door was modeled in 1949 by Vico Consorti, later called “Vico dell’uscio”. At Christmas of that year Ferdinando Marinelli Jr. was born, whose grandfather Ferdinando Marinelli Sr. cast, on behalf of Mons. Ludovico Kaas, the Holy Door.
The opening ceremony in the Jubilee of 2015 saw the two Popes (Benedict XVI and Francis) together.
In this last Jubilee (2025) it was opened by Pope Francis sitting in a wheelchair.
