The year 2025 marks a sacred milestone for Catholics worldwide—the Jubilee Year—a profound occasion for grace, spiritual renewal, and absolution. Beyond the pilgrimage to Rome, the beating heart of Christendom, faithful travelers are encouraged to embark on time-honored pilgrimage routes across Europe, transforming their spiritual journey into a living testimony of devotion.
At the heart of this journey, the custom walking stick medallions becomes more than just a souvenir—it is a symbol of the miles walked, the prayers whispered, and the hope reborn.
What Is the Jubilee Year?
The Jubilee (Giubileo) finds its roots in the Old Testament, representing a time of forgiveness, renewal, and divine favor. Instituted by Pope Boniface VIII in 1300, the Catholic Church has since celebrated an Ordinary Jubilee every 25 years, ceremoniously opening the Holy Door (Porta Sancta) of St. Peter’s Basilica and welcoming pilgrims from all corners of the globe to seek pardon and purification of the soul.
The theme for the 2025 Jubilee is “Pilgrims of Hope”, a call for humanity to rediscover peace and purpose through faith amid the challenges of our time.
Pilgrimage routes in Europe
As pilgrims traverse the continent in search of spiritual and historical depth, these iconic paths offer a blend of divine inspiration, natural beauty, and cultural richness:
- Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James)
A legendary path through the Pyrenees and Northern Spain—one of the most beloved pilgrimage routes in the world. - Via Francigena
Crossing four countries—UK, France, Switzerland, and Italy—this ancient route leads pilgrims over the Alps into the Eternal City. - Via Mariae (The Marian Way)
A tapestry of trails centered on devotion to the Virgin Mary, blending regional paths into one spiritual mosaic. - Way of St. Francis
A path honoring St. Francis of Assisi, merging faith and nature through forests, hills, and historic chapels.
Each route not only carries deep religious resonance but also invites pilgrims to experience the soul of Europe: its breathtaking landscapes, ancient cities, and timeless traditions.
