	Jubilee (Biblical) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jubilee comes from the Hebrew term yobel refers to the blast of the shofar on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, announcing the jubilee year (hashanah yobel).
		The view of the Mishnaic and Talmudic rabbis was that these laws were made to promote the idea of theocracy: that one year in seven might be devoted "to the Lord," as the weekly Sabbath is devoted to rest from manual labor and to the study of the Law.
		The jubilee was instituted primarily to keep intact the original allotment of the Holy Land among the tribes, and to discountenance the idea of servitude to men.

	Jubilee (Christian) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Jubilees of 1450 and 1475 were attended by vast crowds of pilgrims, and that of 1450 was unfortunately made famous by a terrible accident in which nearly two hundred persons were trampled to death in a panic which occurred on the bridge of Sant' Angelo.
		The Jubilee of 1900, though shorn of much of its splendour by the confinement of the Holy Father within the limits of the Vatican, was, nevertheless carried out by Pope Leo XIII with all the solemnity that was possible.
		The Jubilee was closed by the pope on January 6, 2001, by the closing of the holy door of St. Peter's and the promulgation of the Apostolic Letter Novo Millennio Ineunte (Upon Entering the New Millennium), which outlined the pope's vision for the future of the Church.

	Biblical Studies
		The year of jubilee and the related commandments which were to be instituted by the people of Israel as they settled on the promised land obviously deal with the ways in which God intended the socio-economic life of his people to be lived.
		The jubilee portion of the commandments was designed to actualize the liberation of those people who had become enslaved through circumstance and to restore them to their inheritance within the nation.
		As was the case with the year of jubilee commandment, this expression was rooted in the greatest commandment and it concretized the expression of mercy and justice by upholding the poor.

		Let us recall the Biblical formulation of the jubilee principle: "and thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee nine and forty years.
		The main difference between the biblical revolution and socialist revolutions is that the latter are supposed to occur once and for all, while the jubilee revolution should occur at regular intervals.

		Because a jubilee year would hypothetically have been celebrated in the year 422-421 BCE (autumn-to-autumn), it is clear that the year when Ezra arrived at Jerusalem (autumn-to-autumn of 458-457 BCE) would have corresponded with a Sabbatical year of the 50-year cycle (the 2nd Sabbatical of the jubilee cycle).
		It is here of special interest that both the jubilee year of 572-571 BCE (the time of Ezekiel's vision) and the jubilee year of 29-30 CE (the time after the crucifixion) may have both occurred in alignment with a revolution of this respective long-time-cycle of 600 years.
		Because the location of both of the jubilee years (or 50th years) in 177-176 BCE and 122-121 BCE are manifest from the cited historical cases, the instances of all the intervening Sabbaticals are easy to verify.

		Jubilee tradition dates to 1300 AD-a developed set of practices began to form a Jubilee spirituality since the biblical Jubilee was more of an ideal than a set practice.
		The jubilee year was meant to restore equally among all the children of Israel, offering new possibilities to families which had lost their property and even their personal freedom.
		For the church, the jubilee is precisely this "year of the Lord’s favor," a year of the remission of sins and of the punishment due to them, a year of reconciliation between disputing parties, a year of manifold conversions and of sacramental and extra sacramental penance.

		Another Jubilee was accordingly proclaimed by Pope Martin V in 1423, but Pope Nicholas V, in 1450, reverted to the quinquagesimal period, while Pope Paul II decreed that the Jubilee should be celebrated every twenty-five years, and this has been the normal rule ever since.

		Such extraordinary Jubilees are commonly granted by a newly elected pontiff at his accession or on occasions of some unwonted celebration, as was done, for example, at the convening of the Vatican Council, or again at times of great calamity.
