The Vatican is set to open five sacred portals starting on Christmas Eve to mark a year of forgiveness, during which people can confess their sins and be saved from damnation.
The Vatican is opening five "Holy Doors" on Christmas Eve to mark the beginning of the 2025 Jubilee year. This special year is intended to be a time of forgiveness, reconciliation, and personal spiritual renewal for Catholics, offering them a chance to gain spiritual benefits and perhaps even salvation (eternal damnation is referenced in the title, offering this as a reason to take part).
