Accessible Jubilee 2025: Itinerary for All
Have you ever dreamed of embarking on an accessible pilgrimage through Rome's most iconic basilicas? In this article we explore the opportunities, the facilitated routes,
the personalised advice and advantages offered by the city of Rome to make the Jubilee 2025
accessible to all.
What is the Jubilee?
The Jubilee is a special event of the Catholic Church, celebrated every 25 years, which offers the faithful
the possibility of receiving plenary indulgences and participating in rites of purification and renewal
spiritual. The Holy Year 2025 promises to attract millions of pilgrims from all over the world, and Rome
is preparing to make the experience for everyone, regardless of mobility difficulties or
other disabilities.
The Tradition of the Pilgrimage of the 7 Churches Today becomes for All
The pilgrimage of the 7 churches originated thanks to St Philip Neri in the 16th century. The saint proposed
a route that would guide the faithful through the main basilicas of Rome, inviting them to
reflect on the mystery of faith and renew their spirituality.
Thanks to the efforts of the Church and local authorities, all the basilicas along the route have
adopted measures to make the pilgrimage experience accessible.
The churches included in the path are:
- St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican
- Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls
- Basilica of St Sebastian Outside the Walls
- Basilica of St John Lateran
- Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem
- Basilica of St Lawrence Outside the Walls
- Basilica of St. Mary Major
