From this moment in December 2024 to the present, more than 24 million pilgrims have passed through the Eternal City, according to the Dicastery for Evangelization.
During these Jubilee months, Rome has experienced weeks of particularly intense tourism. For example, the Youth Jubilee in August brought one million young people to the city.
The Jubilee didn't exactly start off in a simple way. Remember that Rome was affected by construction work during the months leading up to the Jubilee. Those in the commercial sector suffered the most.

And so I ask myself, it's been known for 25 years that there would be a Jubilee. Could it have been held at a better time?
However, despite initial fears, figures like these show that neither the construction work nor the blockades of the first few days have been able to stop the 24 million pilgrims of hope.
