On Christmas Eve, Pope Francis opened the "Holy Door," previously called the "five sacred portals." This marks the beginning of the Catholic Church's Jubilee Year, a tradition rich in symbolism. Ten children from around the world walked through the door, followed by 54 worshippers from different countries. This sacred event is held by the Vatican every 25 years.
