(Exaudi. Hernán Sergio Mora).
32 million pilgrims are expected to arrive in Rome on the occasion of Jubilee 2025, which will begin with the opening on December 24 of this year of the Holy Door in St. Peter’s Basilica.
Of them, 2.5 million will be from the United States, 1.4 million from Germany, almost a million from Great Britain. About 250 thousand people from Argentina, and a similar number from Brazil, but also from Muslim countries like Turkey, with 86 thousand. These data are according to projections made by the statistics department of the Roma Tre University.
This was indicated by the pro-prefect of the Congregation for the New Evangelization, Mons. Rino Fisichella, in a press conference given this week at the “Associazione Stampa Estera in Italia”, and added that it is also expected, in addition to these figures, that “many tourists become pilgrims.”
