1720 Cardinals Catholicism Deputes Gates Giovanni Jubilee Laterano Maggiore Maria Paolo Papal Pope Start Santa

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the beginning of a Papal Jubilee in Rome, Italy, circa 1720. The Pope, dressed in full regalia, stands before a crowd of faithful onlookers as he deputes three cardinals to perform an essential ritual in the opening of the Jubilee. The cardinals, dressed in their red robes and tall, pointed hats, are seen here opening the gates of three major basilicas in Rome: San Giovanni Laterano, Santa Maria Maggiore, and San Paolo. The Papal Jubilee, a significant event in the Catholic Church, occurs when the Pope declares a Holy Year, granting all the faithful a plenary indulgence, or the remission of all temporal punishment due to sin. The gates of the major basilicas in Rome are symbolically opened to welcome pilgrims from around the world to participate in the spiritual journey of the Jubilee. San Giovanni Laterano, the oldest of the three basilicas, was the traditional residence of the Popes until the 14th century. Santa Maria Maggiore, with its stunning mosaics and beautiful frescoes, is one of the most famous and visited churches in Rome. San Paolo Fuori le Mura, or San Paolo Outside the Walls, is the final resting place of several Popes and is renowned for its stunning architecture and beautiful gardens. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and enduring traditions of Christianity and the Catholic Church. The image of the Pope and the cardinals, dressed in their robes and performing this ancient ritual, evokes a sense of awe and reverence, reminding us of the deep spiritual significance of the Papal Jubilee and the importance of faith and pilgrimage in the lives of believers.
