Philatelic cover 2025 - €3,20

The 2025 philatelic envelope is intended as a further tribute to this Holy Year, a symbol of grace and redemption. The image of the Pontiff standing before the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican becomes an iconic representation of the shepherd who, with determined steps and an open heart, leads his people toward reconciliation with God, flinging wide the doors of mercy.In this image lies the powerful essence of the Jubilee: Pope Francis envisioned a Jubilee as the symbol of an “open door”, a welcoming community with no reservations, a passage through which each person may rediscover the merciful embrace of God, especially those who feel distant from the Church, those who suffer, or those living on the margins of society. The Holy Door rises as a symbol of renewed hope — a radiant sign for a world yearning for reconciliation and peace. It is not merely a physical threshold but a spiritual gateway. It marks the beginning of a year of mercy and hope for all humanity.The illustration on the left depicts the Holy Father about to cross the Holy Door of St. Peter’s, while the value imprint features the official logo of the Jubilee 2025.
