However, the Vatican is already planning a new major event of global significance: the 2,000th anniversary of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in 2033, said the Pope's Holy Year representative, Archbishop Rino Fisichella.
"The realisation of a jubilee must be planned at least five years in advance," said the head of the Vatican's Dicastery for Evangelisation, who has already helped organise the Holy Years 2000, 2016 and the current one. The year 2033 is just as important as the millennium with the 2,000th birthday of Jesus Christ - not just for Christians, but for all people, emphasised Fisichella.
Several more Holy Year meetings in 2025
According to the Archbishop, the current Holy Year is going very well and the cooperation between the various organisations is working well.
However, Fisichella emphasised that the work that has been done and the tasks that still lie ahead should not distract us from looking to the future: "We must focus on the future, especially on the 2033 jubilee."
Several major special events are still to come as part of the current pilgrimage year, including the Holy Year Meeting of Labour (8 November), of the Poor (26 November), of Choirs (22 November) and of Prisoners (14 December).
The Holy Year 2025 will conclude with the solemn closing of the Holy Door of St Peter's Basilica by Pope Leo XIV on 6 January.
