Great Jubilee 2000

Jubilee celebrations of the Roman Catholic Church

jub-e-cl.gif (20149 bytes)The Jubilee’s tradition dates back to the Old Testament.

It was known then as The Great Sabbatical Year (which nowadays corresponds to the Jubilee Year) and occurred every 50 years. According to Moses' law, every seventh year, that is the Sabbatical Year, was to be consecrated to God.

According to Moses' law, 7 weeks of years (seven times seven years) equal to a period of 49 years, were to be counted. The 50th year, as a result, was to be declared the Holy Year during which the same customs of the Sabbatical Year had to be solemnly celebrated.
