Archbishop Francisco Cerro to open Holy Door of Toledo Cathedral

Archbishop Francisco Cerro Chaves will preside over the opening of the Holy Door at Toledo Cathedral this Sunday, October 25, at 18:00. The ceremony marks the beginning of the cathedral's first Jubilee Year, a period of pilgrimages and liturgical celebrations that will continue until October 25, 2027.

Pope Leo XIV granted the Jubilee to commemorate the eighth centenary of the cathedral. The celebration coincides with the feast of the Dedication of the Cathedral. According to the Archdiocese of Toledo, the events will begin in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento.

The Jubilee commemorates the time passed since the laying of the first stone of the current cathedral on August 14, 1226, by Archbishop Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada and the king. During this year, the faithful may seek a plenary indulgence by meeting the conditions established by the Church.
