Archbishop unveils Pope’s `Jubilee Year Door’ message in presence of Mamata Banerjee on Xmas eve at the Cathedral of the Most Holy Rosary

Pope Francis has urged the Catholics to prepare for the Jubilee by spending time studying the four Constitutions of the Second Vatican Council. The idea to use the theme of Annunciation – the Virgin Mary’s divine conception of Jesus Christ – in the form of reliefs on the bronze-colored Door finish has been conceptualized and executed by a young student, Parthabrata Ganguly of Church Art, a Kolkata-based creative firm that specializes in creating sacred and esoteric artwork in compliance with the canonical laws.

“In times marked by conflicts and violence, the significance of a Jubilee Year Holy Door takes on an even more profound meaning. It stands as a symbol of hope, reconciliation, mercy, and peace amidst turmoil,” said  Fr Franklin Menezes, Pro-Vicar of The Cathedral of the Most Holy Rosary.

The Holy Door represents reconciliation and forgiveness in the face of wars and hate; it reminds us of the importance of healing wounds and fostering understanding among conflicting parties. The Holy Door serves as a threshold to divine mercy and compassion. It invites individuals and communities to seek solace, forgiveness, and grace, regardless of the surrounding turmoil. The Door also calls for unity and solidarity and signifies an opportunity for personal and communal renewal. It invites us to leave behind hatred and discord, embracing a transformative journey toward love, understanding, and reconciliation.
