Hosted by the Holy See Press Office, Archbishop Rino Fisichella shared the schedule for the event, emphasizing the importance of peace in today’s world. Delegations from over 100 countries will participate in the pilgrimage to the Holy Door, with special attention given to Operation Irini, a military mission supporting peace in Libya.
