The official mascot of the Holy Year 2025: ‘Luce’

Archbishop Fisichella unveiled the official mascot of the Holy Year 2025: ‘Luce’ (Italian for light), a cartoon pilgrim dressed in a yellow raincoat and mud-stained boots, wearing a missionary cross and holding a pilgrim’s staff. Luce’s glowing eyes feature the shape of scallop shells, a traditional symbol of pilgrimage and hope.

The mascot, he said, was inspired by the Church’s desire ‘to live even within the pop culture so beloved by our youth’.
