Over six hundred and fifty years after the first Jubilee. His Holiness Pope Pius XII has proclaimed the twenty-fifth such cele- bration with the Hull Jubiheum Maxi- mum . In all. over three million pilgrims have visited Rome, including thousands of Ameri- cans. Millions more who were unable to make the pilgrimage witnessed many of the ceremonies through television, radio and motion pictures. No other Holy Year has been so widely acclaimed. Christmas Eve. with its cundclighl ceremony and un- walling of the Holy Doors of the four Major Basilicas, marked the beginning of the Jubilee. I he Holy Father himself presided at the ceremony at St. Peter's while Cardinal-delegates represented him at the other Basilicas. I he splendor and grandeur of this solemn liturgy is index rihahlc. I he ceremony of o| ening and «losing of the I Inly Door dales back to the eighth Holy Year in 1300. Its pageantry is not mere ostentation hut symbolizes the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Paradise and the reconcilution of sinners. The spes ial purpose of this twenty-fifth Holy car is to summon all the faithful not only to expiate their faults and amend their lives but also to acquire virtue and holiness. If mankind would only realize the Moral. Spiritual and Social meaning of the Bull Jubiheum Maximum ', the pence that all men seek could be achieved and the many problems of these troublesome days would culminate in a happy solution.
