The Jubilee of the Redemption
Pope St John Paul II declared the year 1983 a Jubilee of the Redemption to celebrate 1950 years since Jesus Christ's death and resurrection. The opening of the Holy Door for the inauguration of the Jubilee Year took place on the Solemnity of the Annunciation, 25th March 1983.
