OSV Jubilee Logo

The logo of the Jubilee 2025 represents that we are pilgrims, we walk towards the heavenly homeland and, as in every pilgrimage, we help each other to overcome difficulties, but the one who helps us most and precedes us is Jesus who, on the Cross, gave us his life and continues to give it to us in the Eucharist, that is why the Cross leans towards the four pilgrims who represent humanity coming from the four cardinal points. The pilgrims embrace, indicating the solidarity and fraternity that unites them, with the first in line who is clinging to the Cross of Christ, sign of faith, love and hope.

We are pilgrims of hope as we prepare to celebrate the 2025th anniversary of the birth of Christ, 2025 years of grace, mercy, mission and holiness. He alone is holy, but united with Him and with each other we hope to grow every day in holiness, despite the waves that beset us, because in the pilgrimage of life we are called to face difficulties and sometimes storms, but united with Christ we will not be shipwrecked, as shown by the anchor of salvation, which resists the waves.

The creator of the logo, Giacomo Trevisani, said he had "imagined people of all 'colors,' nationalities and cultures, coming from the four cardinal points and moving forward en route to the future, like the sails of a great common ship, unfurled by the wind of Hope that is the Cross of Christ and Christ himself." The colors also have a meaning, as he explained: "Red is love, action and sharing; yellow/orange is the color of human warmth; green evokes peace and balance; blue recalls security and protection. The black/gray of the Cross/Anchor, meanwhile, represents authority and the inner aspect."

The representation of the logo is completed with the motto of the Holy Year 2025, "Pilgrims of Hope", in the color green that recalls spring and, therefore, the hope in the new life that Jesus continues to offer us.
