	Holy Year of Jubilee
		Not to speak of a supposed vision of Clement VI as early as 1350, who is said to have been supernaturally admonished to "open the door", we have several references to the "holy door" or the "golden gate" in connection with the Jubilee long before the year 1475.
		Moreover, a number of witnesses allude to the unwalling of the holy door in connection with the Jubilee of 145O.
		Each of the holy doors at the other basilicas is similarly opened by a cardinal specially deputed for the purpose.

	Jubilee Holy Door
		In its brevity, the prayer highlights the symbolic meaning of crossing the threshold of the Holy Door.
		Because of this, Cardinal Virgilio Noe has published a book, 'The Holy Door of Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican,' in which he reflects on the message and the history of this most singular door.
		"The message the Holy Door gives to those who, after reflecting before it, cross the threshold and enter the Basilica, is part of the essence of the Gospel: it is the message of God's mercy bending over man's misery," the Italian Cardinal explains in his book.

		Among the cardinals, your Holiness was also present, enjoying the appreciation and esteem of your predecessor: a person about whom Pope John Paul wrote in his book “Arise, and let’s be on our way” – and here I quote “I thank God for the presence and help of Cardinal Ratzinger.
		I discussed all of this with the Holy Father, with great frankness and he was very paternal towards me. He gave me time to reflect and said he also wanted to reflect.

		The Holy Door or 'Porta Sancta' is only open during a Holy Year (Jubilee), which occur every 25 years (the last one in 2000).
		On the first day of a holy year, the Pope strikes the brick wall with a silver hammer and opens it to the pilgrims.

		Not to speak of a supposed vision of Pope Clement VI as early as 1350, who is said to have been supernaturally admonished to "open the door", we have several references to the "holy door" or the "golden gate" in connection with the Jubilee long before the year 1475.
		Formerly the door was unwalled only once in a hundred years, this was afterwards reduced to fifty, and now it is said to be "opened at the will of the pope." However legendary all this may be, it is unlikely that the story could have been quite recently fabricated at the time Tafur recorded it.
		Moreover, a number of witnesses allude to the unwalling of the holy door in connection with the Jubilee of 1450.

		Peter's desire is that women in his own day would follow the example of the holy women of old, and that they would win their husbands to Christ by their reverent and chaste behavior.
		Holy women who hope in God take this promise of blessing through suffering, and they fight fear with the faithfulness of God—"Sarah considered him faithful who had promised" (Hebrews 11:11).

		With regard to Protocol II in particular, the Holy See regrets that, after having been stripped of a large part of its humanitarian substance by the plenary Assembly of the Conference, the Protocol has become the instrument of a rigorous legal system both in its text and in its spirit.
		Although the Holy See signed the Protocol, with serious reservations, and although it is now ratifying it, it is mainly because it looks upon the Protocol as an open door to future developments of humanitarian law in a crucial and, until now, much neglected sector.
		The Holy See expresses, moreover, its firm belief that the ultimate goal, that which is worthy of the calling of man and of human civilization, is the abolition of war.

		A door, which is only half open or swinging in a draft, is something disturbing, since it symbolizes moral irresolution and lack of courage.
		Holy Scripture says: "As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful man upon his bed." A door, which is locked when it should be open, can be a great disappointment.
		There was, for instance, the door, or the slab, that covered the entrance to a dungeon, into which prisoners were cast and where they were later strangled to death.

	Worldandnation: Pope opens door on new millennium
		ROME -- In a moment he has been waiting for his entire pontificate, John Paul II opened wide the Holy Door to St. Peter's basilica Friday evening, ushering in a holy year that is supposed to set the tone for the third millennium.
		Christmas Eve is one of the most sacred days on the Roman Catholic calendar, but this year's is laden with unparalleled significance, marking the opening of the Holy Year of the new millennium, and, in the minds of many, the 2,000th anniversary of the birth of Jesus.
		The opening of the Holy Door is the main symbol of a Jubilee, the Catholic term derived from the Hebrew word yobel, a law handed down by Moses requiring that slaves be freed and debts forgiven every 50 years.
