THE VATICAN ANNOUNCED TO PERFORM A FORBIDDEN 🚫 RITUAL THIS CHRISTMAS NEVER BEEN ATTEMPTED IN HUMAN HISTORY.
POPE FRANCIS revealed they will conduct the “Apertura Sanctorum”- an ancient ceremony discovered in sealed texts from 300 AD. The ritual requires 1000 priests to form a perfect circle in St. PETER’S SQUARE while reciting forbidden 🚫 prayers in reverse Latin. They have no idea what will happen because this has never been done before. The Vatican came out with announcement that anyone within a three mile radius of St Peter’s Square, at the time of the ritual on December 25th, must remove themselves. This ritual has not been done since the DARK AGES. They claim it will open “sacred gateways” between realms. VATICAN Officials admitted they can’t predict the consequences, but insists it is necessary to prepare humanity… The Vatican have decided to install Massive Copper Conductors around the Saint Peter’s Square. The Vatican has warned that this ritual could tear the veil between worlds.

As I have shown repeatedly in my posts, when the Romans hijacked the newly born Christian faith as a means to UNITE the world under One Religion, they converted the various people groups by telling them that they could continue to worship their gods/goddesses/nature spirits etc all they had to do was change their name. They used the names of “Christian” Saints. They allowed them to keep their statues and that is where the Iconography of the Roman Catholic Church began. So you must recognize that the so called Saint venerated, adored and worshipped by Roman Catholics are in truth demonic spirits of Fallen Angels and and their progeny who were worshipped as gods and demigods by ancient pagans.

JUBILEE (doesn’t come from Rome)
| GOD ORDAINED THE JUBILEE as a year of emancipation of slaves and restoration of lands, to be celebrated every 50th year (Levit. xxv:9); it was proclaimed by the sounding of a ram’s horn on the Day of Atonement (as recorded in the Old Testament Hebrew yobhel “jubilee,” formerly “a trumpet, ram’s horn,” literally “ram.” The original jubilee was The form of the word was altered in Latin by association with unrelated Latin iubilare “to shout with joy” for which see jubilant, from Old French jubileu “jubilee; anniversary; rejoicing” (14c., Modern French jubilé), from Late Latin iubilaeus “the jubilee year,” originally an adjective, “of the jubilee,” from Greek iabelaios, from iobelos0; and the confusion of senses has continued in the Romanic languages and English. The general sense of “season of rejoicing” is first recorded mid-15c. in English, however through early 20c. the word kept its specific association with 50th anniversaries. Source |

Starting on Dec. 24, the pontiff will open a series of five Holy Doors throughout the Vatican, including St. Peter’s Basilica, plus Rome’s three other basilicas to commence next year’s Catholic Church jubilee — a joyful commemoration of faith that normally occurs every 25 years.
The Catholic tradition of celebrating a jubilee began in the 1300s and was initially stretched out every 100 years rather than 25.
For centuries, the Holy Doors have been opened at the four Roman basilicas to usher in memorable years for the church.
The door at St. Peter’s was sealed shut by a wall of bricks since the Jubilee Year of Divine Mercy in 2016 and, on Dec. 2, those were ripped down to ready the door for opening as part of the rite of “recognition.”
In modern times, Pope John Paul II also celebrated a jubilee in 2000,at the time writing about the significance of the Holy Doors pertaining to one’s faith...“To focus upon the door is to recall the responsibility of every believer to cross its threshold. To pass through that door means to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord; it is to strengthen faith in him in order to live the new life which he has given us,” John Paul II wrote. SOURCE
Opening the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica has been a fixture of the Catholic Church’s celebration of jubilee years since the Holy Year 1450, the Vatican said.
Pope Francis chose “Pilgrims of Hope” as the theme for theHoly Year 2025, which began Dec. 24 and will run through Jan. 6, 2026.
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — In the quiet of Christmas Eve, Pope Francis opened the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, launching what he called a “Jubilee of Hope.”
As the doors opened, the bells of the basilica began to peal.
…pushed in his wheelchair up the ramp to the Holy Door. In silence, he raised himself from the chair to knock five times, and aides inside slowly opened the door, which had been framed in a garland of green pine branches, decorated with red roses and gold pinecones.
Normally the Holy Door, to the right of the basilica’s center doors, remains sealed with bricks, a symbolic reminder of the barrier of sin between people and God. The 16 panels on the bronze doors illustrate key moments in salvation history, including the fall of Adam and Eve, the annunciation of Jesus’ birth, Christ presented as the shepherd rescuing a lost sheep, the crucifixion and the risen Jesus appearing to the disciples.

| The ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH wants the world to believe that they have the keys and that your sins can only be forgiven by the ROMAN CATHOLIC Priests. This is a lie straight out of the pit of HELL. THE TRUTH IS that once JESUS CHRIST/Yahushua Ha Mashiach came and paid the price for us… it is no longer our sin that separates us from GOD!! HIS BLOOD COVERS OUR SIN. The ONLY THING that separates us from GOD now is US!! If we do not recognize JESUS CHRIST/Yahushua Ha Mashiach as God’s son and His gift of SALVATION through His Blood we will NOT BE SAVED!! It is that simple. ALL we have to do is ASK…forgiveness and apply the Blood to our hearts and minds. HE is faithful and just to forgive us and to CLEASNSE US and BRING US INTO RIGHT STANDING WITH HIM. THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO TO SAVE OURSELVES or TO EARN SALVATION.
In a very miraculous way, God put a very special bible in my hands. I did not discovery its precious treasure until a few years later. In the center of this bible was a piece of red cellophane. I wondered why it was there… until one day, GOD showed me. On one side of the cellophane is a picture that has a red background. It shows the world, well it did, it has faded now but you still see the circle of the Earth with a sword passing through it. It reads ” Your Sins as Scarlet, Red Like Crimson.” The Wages of SIN is DEATH! ALL SIN CAN SINS BE BLOTTED OUT? Yes, before CHRIST all the world was lost in SIN. We were slaves to sin. With NO WAY TO GET FREE. ALL SIN/ANY SIN separates US from GOD!! The World covered in SIN, separated us from GOD. The Lord told me to turn the cellophane over. When it laid across the page I had just read. Suddenly the areas that were red became white so that I could read what was printed there. Low and behold, the circle of the earth now has Christ in the center and the Sword is gone. It reads: “THOUGH YOUR SINS BE AS SCARLET,, they shall be as White as Snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” The WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, ; but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. ALL SIN/ANY SIN! but, YES! Your sins can be blotted out! When God showed this to me, I cried. I said, so you are saying to me that your blood covers the WHOLE WORLD!! Once for ALL. When Our Heavenly Father looks down from Heaven, He see the World THROUGH THE BLOOD!! Already completed, in CHRIST. All we have to do is turn away from Sin and TO JESUS and be SAVED! |

We don’t need the clergy; we do need rituals and sacraments. We don’t need penance or good works. We don’t need ANYONE to intercede for us EXCEPT JESUS. We don’t need saints, or Mary, or spirit guides, or angels, or popes, or shamans, or ancestors. We need to follow JESUS. We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit whom the Bible says will lead us to all truth, comfort us, guide us and empower us to stand! The Bible also says that when we do not know how to pray, he will intercede on our behalf. The Holdy Spirit was given to us because the price was paid. The sacrifice on Jesus/Yahushua PAID the price for our Redemption AND open the way for us to be EMPOWERED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD!

Pope Francis Isn’t Opening ‘5 Sacred Portals’ on Christmas Eve for Never-Before-Performed Ritual
Pope Francis is only opening one “sacred portal” on this year’s Christmas Eve. The other four will be opened over the following days and weeks, up until Jan. 5, 2025. Also, the ritual of opening “Holy Doors,” symbolic locations that are opened at the start of the Jubilee, or “Holy Year,” has been performed since 1423. The only “first” happening in 2024 is the opening of a “Holy Door” at a prison on Dec. 26, 2024.
shared the rumor wrote (archived): “Pope Francis Will Be Opening 5 Sacred Portals For A Special Catholic Ritual On Christmas Eve.”
users claimed it would be the performed.
others are being opened on Dec. 26, Dec. 29, Jan. 1, 2025 and Jan. 5.
As for the claim that this ritual has never been performed before, Catholicism has celebrated the Jubilee since 1300, when it was first enacted by Pope Boniface VIII. Vatican websites and Catholic news website National Catholic Register state that the Holy Door element was introduced in 1423 (although the official website of the 2025 Jubilee says it the 2025 Jubilee marks the first time that part of the ritual will be performed within a prison.
What Are Holy Doors?
The official website of the 2025 Jubilee describes the Holy Doors as “the most powerful sign of the Jubilee, since the ultimate aim of the pilgrim is to pass through it.” The opening of a Holy Door marks the official start of the Holy Year. It continues:
Originally, there was only one door, at the Basilica of St. John Lateran, which is the cathedral of the Bishop of Rome. Later, to allow as many pilgrims as possible to take part in the Jubilee experience, the other Roman Basilicas also opened their own holy doors.
[…]
Passing through the Holy Door expresses the decision to follow and be guided by Jesus, who is the Good Shepherd. The door is a passageway that ushers the pilgrim into the interior of a church.
Pope John Paul II described these Holy Doors in his declaration of the 2000 Jubilee by saying: “It evokes the passage from sin to grace which every Christian is called to accomplish. Jesus said: ‘I am the door (John 10:7), in order to make it clear that no one can come to the Father except through him.'”
The Geomancy of St. Peter’s Square and the VaticanSt. Peter’s Square at Vatican City may be the most obvious geomantic sighting device documented here. The layout of the plaza of St. Peter’s can work like a giant compass rose built on the surface of the earth.The Egyptian obelisk in the center of the plaza represents the gnomon point of the Axis Mundi of the Catholic faith. Many debate the location of the bones of St. Peter. Many say they are within St. Peter’s Basilica while others maintain that they are located beneath the obelisk at the center of St. Peter’s Square. The tradition of the Axis Mundi dictates that the bones of that Templum’s creator should be buried beneath it.This dynamic supports the theory of his remains lying beneath the obelisk in order to transmit his philosophy throughout the Catholic world. The function of St. Peter’s square is much the same as the Axis Mundi created by John Bidwell discussed earlier (see Chico video on the Grail Quest Radio Page or Survivalcell channel on youtube.com). The obelisk of St. Peter’s serves as a kind of datum or point from which measurements can be taken. The obelisk is surrounded by sixteen windrose markers that also denote compass directions or azimuths to places that are historically and philosophically important to those who practice the Catholic faith.Each windrose marker has a Latin designation for the region the marker points to. “Tramontana” or across the mountains or “Scirroco Levante” for wind of the Levant are two examples. The face of each marker also has a direction such as “N” “NNE” or “S” inscribed. Each of the sixteen major compass designations is represented in 22.5 degree increments. The compass rose of St. Peter’s is not oriented to true north but is very close. The plaza’s windrose markers are oriented approx. 1.39 degrees west of true north. This would make the easterly windrose marker point to 88.61 deg. TN (true north). It does not seem necessary that the target be exactly on this heading. If the azimuth to the target crosses the windrose marker from the center point of the obelisk this may be all that is needed to attain its status as the intended target. The history of the Vatican states that these markers are to denote the directions from which the winds come.If one uses the obelisk at the center of the square and the compass bearing with regard to true north that the windrose marker indicates some startling locations can be sighted on the globe. This may represent the true Gnostic or hidden meaning of the purpose of St. Peter’s Square.It is a giant compass rose that may be used as a sighting device. The direction to each place is recorded in the sacred geometry of Bernini and St. Peter’s. The other larger delineation of the Labarum design that spans the plaza of St. Peter’s may have been put there to distract you from the true directional information it contains. Alternately that design may contain directional information as well. Note: The method by which these are determined involves using the obelisk at the center of St. Peter’s Square as a datum. The resulting line must cross the windrose marker to the target location. A globe must be used. This may create a variance of up to a half of a degree in the location of each target. There does not seem to be an exact increment to reach each target but they are very close. EST Levante to Istanbul (was Constantinople) St. Sophia’s and the Hippodrome of Theodosius: The most striking destination the plaza points to is located at a bearing of 88.61 degrees.A line drawn from the obelisk through the easterly windrose marker eventually leads to Istanbul, Turkey and the tip of the Dome of Hagia St. Sophia church. This building was formerly the seat of the entire Roman Empire and subsequently the center of Byzantine religion. The division of eastern and western Rome has many episodes of alliance and warfare between the two sides. This spatial relationship is striking and may represent a form of control or theological influence from one power spot to the next. This area of Constantinople/Istanbul is also home to the Hippodrome of Theodosius which includes two Egyptian obelisks. The Emperor Constantine made what is today Istanbul his capitol. It is not difficult to assume that the Emperor may have been aware of Constantinople and the Hippodrome’s unique spatial orientation with the future site of the Vatican in Rome. The area now occupied by the Vatican was once the Circus or Hippodrome of Rome. The Same obelisk that stands in the center of St. Peter’s once stood in the middle of the hippodrome as they still do today in Istanbul. It is almost as if Constantine were creating a kind of communication or influence through the establishment of this spatial relationship. He was famous for reuniting the eastern and western empire. The establishment of a spatial relationship like the one that exists between the two spots may also be a method by which the creator of the Axis Mundi may denote ownership or control of a given region or location.Later as the architecture of the Vatican developed the entire keyhole design of St. Peter’s is oriented this way.Rome and Istanbul are two of the well known “cities of seven hills” that contain Egyptian obelisks.Other cities of note with Egyptian obelisks include: Mecca, Paris, London and New York City. Another interesting aspect of this relationship is that the easterly orientation of St. Peter’s Square and Hagia St. Sophia mark the position of both the fall and spring equinox’s when viewed from the obelisk at the center of St. Peter’s.The orientation matches the entire direction St. Peter’s square and basilica are both oriented. This is significant in that the history of these two parts of the same empire involve the east first embracing paganismand then later a more orthodox form of Christianity than that practiced in Rome. There were constant conflicts between the two portions of the empire until they eventually split for good. So we have the first azimuth of St. Peter’s pointing to a place that is very significant to the culture and history of Rome. In a far flung theory this may mean that the cities themselves were intentionally oriented this way also. In addition the target of each windrose marker seems to be a geomantic structure that is valued by the Catholic faith. Ponente or W to Madrid, Spain; Tomar, Fatima, Portugal: The west windrose marker (Ponente for western wind) at St. Peter’s square also points to a place that has a long and varied history in the Catholic tradition. The site of the miracles of Fatima, Portugal lies on this line at 268.61 degrees TN from the obelisk at the center of St. Peter’s Square. The line crosses the W windrose marker perfectly and continues west across Spain where it transects the northern environs of Madrid, Spain before crossing nearly the exact location of the original occurrence of the miracles of Fatima. If the line is extended to the Cathedral in Fatima where the pilgrims visit today it still crosses the windrose marker. Prior to reaching Fatima this azimuth comes very close to the former site of the Cistercian monastery of St. Maria de Ovila just north of Madrid.This monastery was later disassembled and shipped to the United States by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. The monastery building is being reassembled at a Cistercian Monastery near Vina, California and has become part of an aligned geomantic system in that region (See Chico chapter for more on Vina). It is very interesting that this chapel was taken from a location on a significant ley line that extended from the system at the Vatican in Spain and moved to another ley line created by John Bidwell halfway across the globe in Chico, California.In addition the monastery is composed of an order of monks that may have descended from the Auger or mystic class of pre-Christian Rome. The Cistercians also have a long tradition of aligning their monasteries in sacred geometrical pattern sometimes over great distances.The latitude of Fatima, Portugal is nearly the same as Chico, California. The miracles of Fatima involve sightings of the Virgin Maryby three young Portuguese children in the early nineteen-thirties. Subsequently some very odd phenomena involving the modulation of the size and position of the sun were witnessed by a crowd of thousands. Part of the lore states that the Virgin Mary gave the children prophecies that were kind of vague and interpreted loosely by many who study the miracles. Fatima is considered one of the most important shrines in the Catholic religion.It is interesting that this town in Portugal is named for the daughter of Mohammed; the founder of the Muslim faith. Fatima was named such during the Moorish occupation of Spain in the 8th century A.D. This historical fact ties into a mystery involving the third prophesy of Fatima. The prophesy was said to involve the assassination of the pope. Subsequent to the John Paul II assassination attempt it became public knowledge that the pope believed the prophesy concerned him. Many Muslims claim that the Fatima for which the town is named was not Mohammed the Prophet’s daughter. Many of these facts feed the fire of the conspiracy that states that the Muslim faith was created or influenced by the Vatican in order to control the holy land and subdue any groups that disagreed with them. Historians including many former Jesuits insist that this is true and the theory is backed up by some undeniable facts.The Moorish invasion of Spain and Portugal may have been at the behest of the Vatican. The Muslim faith has many theological and character similarities to Judaism and Catholicism including a value of the Old Testament and the cast of characters that make up the text of that book. The Archangel Gabriel, the messenger of god, was said to have quoted the Koran to Mohammed. Many insist that in fact Mohammed’s wife was actually a former Christian Catholic nun and that many that influenced him were Christians.The doctrine of the Muslim faith also states that their prophet or savior has yet to come but when the time is right that Christ will return with him. This dynamic of the Muslim faith supports the notion of a secret relationship between the two churches if not only for a short time after the inception of Islam. This is an unproven theory. The next windrose marker discussed here also supports this notion in a grand fashion. Levante Scirocco ESE to the Dome of the Rock! From the obelisk at the center of St. Peter’s Square through the ESE “Levante Scirocco” windrose marker at 111.11 degrees true north lies the octagonal shaped structure of the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem (Jordan).Not only does this line transect exactly to the Dome of the rock but it matches the angle and orientation of the northeast facet of the octagonal structure of the building itself! More amazing is the fact that an azimuth or line created using the angle of this facet of the Dome of the Rock’s octagon (305.55 deg. TN) creates the exact same line that transects back across the windrose marker to the obelisk in St. Peter’s! In other words both structures were built to be oriented to each other along a line that was created from each point over 1400 miles away. The two structures are oriented as compliments to each other. This has to have been intentional.An extensive knowledge of geodesy and astronomy is needed to attain this degree of accuracy.The odds of this being a coincidence are so great as not to be possible.This may represent the symbolic or hidden association of the two religions!Note that both the Vatican and Mecca are home to obelisks that were brought there from Egypt. The obelisk at St. Peter’s has been near its present location since 40 A.D. Bernini had it moved as part of the design of the plaza in the 18th century. The Dome of the Rock was built in the 8th century soon after the time of the creation of Islam.During this period the Vatican had not been created but the same site was the center of the Christian faith of the day.The symbolic meaning of arranging two structures this way over great distances supports the many theories that postulate the Catholic faith having a hand in the creation of the Islamic faith and that they are truly allies behind the scenes. The Dome of the Rock is also of interest in that it was built during the reign of Justinian II who’s bloodline may have later descended to Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire. Charlemagne created the Aachen Cathedral possibly as a veneration of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. The Aachen Cathedral does have Moorish architectural influences especially in the octagonal portion of the Church. Is it possible that Charlemagne was trying to tell us something? (See additional page about The Holy Grail in America that discuss’ the evolution of octagonal structures and how they may be related to the Knights Templar.The KT may have come to value the Dome of the Rock when they occupied the Temple Mount in Jerusalem). The NNE or “Nord Nord EST” windrose marker points to a location that posseses among the grandest linear gardens in the world. The NNE windrose marker creates an azimuth of 21.11 degrees. At this bearing the line intersects with Vienna, Austria. The line transects directly to the Schloss Schönbrunn also known as the Schönbrunn Palace. This geomantic array was also the home to the Habsburg dynasty of Austrian and European rulers. The Schloss Schönbrunn, Austria; Hapsburg Royal Palace and extensive geomantic gardens. The history of Schloss Schönbrunn is uniquely intertwined with the Catholic Church and Holy Roman Empire. In 1569 Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II obtained the specific piece of property that the Schloss Schönbrunn would later occupy. It is highly probable that this piece of property was sought out due to its unique spatial relationship with the obelisk in the center of St. Peters Square at the Vatican. This arrangement of the Habsburg Palace exactly on an azimuth suggested by the windrose marker in relation to the obelisk at St. Peter’s appears to have been an intentional if not symbolic linking of the two places. This relationship demonstrates the purpose and function of an Axis Mundi in Roman terms. The Pope sanctioned the Holy Roman Emperors and their palace is in line with the Vatican. Rome considered the Holy Roman Empire to part of its Templum as defined by the Axis Mundi. This may represent the classic arrangement of colony and parent city as defined by Roman city planning and tradition. Regensburg, Venice, Oslo N: 368.61 Regensburg Germany is on the Nord Tramontana azimuth from St Peter’s. Regensburg, Germany was the home of the Ottonian Dynasty of the Holy Roman Empire.Olso, Norway also lays on the N. bound azimuth from St. Peter’s. A Northern azimuth leads right to the Rialto Bridge in Venice after passing within a quarter of a mile of the principality of San Marino and Ravenna, Italy, home of the first Christian Church of Italy. San Vitale is also one of the famous octagonal churches designed by Justinian I that may have led to the Dome of the Rock being designed in this manner. Aachen Cathedral, Amsterdam NNW 336.11 A line drawn from the obelisk at the center of St. Peter’s Square to the tip of the dome of the Aachen Cathedral crosses the NNW windrose marker. The Aachen Cathedral was built by Charlemagne and may have served as the template for what would later be termed a “Templar Church.”(please see homepage and article about the Holy Grail of N. America for much more on the Aachen Cathedral). Torino, Chartres Cathedral, D-Day, Very Large Array NW: 313.61 The Northwest azimuth transects Genoa, Italy and Torino Italy. Torino is home to the Shroud of Turin which may be Christ’s burial shroud. An azimuth can be inferred that leads right to Chartres Cathedral using the obelisk and NW windrose marker may also be inferred. This azimuth also transects precisely to Gold Beach at the location of the D-Day invasions of World War II. Later in the U.S. this azimuth comes very close to the Very Large Array of radio telescopes in New Mexico.An element of the Very Large Array points to the Lucifer Telescope which is partially funded by the Vatican. NE: 43.61 ENE: 66.11 E: 88.61 ESE: 111.11 SE: 133.61 SSE: 156.11 |
| The Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran (officially, the Major Papal, Patriarchal and Roman Archbasilica, Cathedral of the Most Holy Saviour and Saints John the Baptist and the Evangelist in Lateran, Mother and Head of All Churches in Rome and in the World, and commonly known as the Lateran Basilica or Saint John Lateran)[c] is the Catholic cathedral of the Diocese of Rome in the city of Rome, and serves as the seat of the bishop of Rome, the pope (Pope Frances). The only “archbasilica” in the world, it lies outside of Vatican City proper, which is located approximately four kilometres (2+1⁄2 miles) northwest. Nevertheless, as properties of the Holy See, the archbasilica and its adjoining edifices enjoy an extraterritorial status from Italy, pursuant to the terms of the Lateran Treaty of 1929.[a] Dedicated to the Christ, in honor of John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, the place name, Laterano (Lateran) comes from an ancient Roman family (gens), whose palace (domus) grounds occupied the site; the adjacent Lateran Palace was the primary residence of the pope until the Middle Ages.
The church is the oldest and highest ranking of the four major papal basilicas as well as one of the Seven Pilgrim Churches of Rome. Founded in 324, it is the oldest public church in the city of Rome, and the oldest basilica of the Western world.[1] It houses the cathedra of the Roman bishop,[2][3] and has the title of ecumenical mother church of the Catholic faithful. As the cathedral of the pope as bishop of Rome, it ranks superior to all other churches of the Catholic Church, including Saint Peter’s Basilica. Located in Piazza di San Giovanni in Laterano, near the basilica of the same name, Lateran obelisk was erected. Originally commissioned by the 18th dynasty Pharaoh Thuthmosis III, it was completed by his grandson, Thuthmosis IV. At 32.18 m (45.70 m including the base) it is the tallest obelisk in Rome and the largest standing ancient Egyptian obelisk in the world, weighing over 230 tons. Following the annexation of Egypt to the Empire, it was taken from the temple of Amun in Karnak[Notes 2] and brought to Alexandria with another obelisk by Constantius II. From there it was brought on its own to Rome in 357 to decorate the spina of the Circus Maximus. The dedication on the base, however, gives the glory to Constantine I, not to his son who brought it to Rome. The private apartments of the popes in this palace were situated between the triclinium and the city walls. It later was called Aula Concilii (“Hall of the Council”) due to its role as a place of meetings The Lateran councils were ecclesiastical councils or synods of the Catholic Church held at Rome in the Lateran Palace next to the Lateran Basilica. Ranking as a papal cathedral, this became a much-favored place of assembly for ecclesiastical councils both in antiquity (313, 487) and more especially during the Middle Ages. Prominent synodsAmong these numerous synods the most prominent are five which the tradition of the Catholic Church has classed as ecumenical councils:
A number of non-ecumenical councils were held at the Lateran, including the Lateran Council of 649 against Monothelitism,[1] the Lateran Council of 769 against iconoclasm, and the Lateran Council of 964. |
| The Basilica of Saint Mary Major (Italian: Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore) is a Major papal basilica and one of the Seven Pilgrim Churches of Rome. It is the largest Catholic Marian church in Rome, Italy1. The basilica houses what is believed to be a relic of the manger in which the infant Jesus was laid in Bethlehem2. It is situated on the summit of the Esquiline Hill and is the only papal basilica in Rome to have retained its paleo-Christian structures
The Basilica of Saint Mary Major (Italian: Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, Italian pronunciation: [ˈsanta maˈriːa madˈdʒoːre]; Latin: Basilica Sanctae Mariae Maioris; Latin: Basilica Sanctae Mariae ad Nives),[a] or church of Santa Maria Maggiore (also referred to as Santa Maria delle Nevi from its Latin origin Sancta Maria ad Nives), is one of the four major papal basilicas as well as one of the Seven Pilgrim Churches of Rome and the largest Marian church in Rome, Italy. Santa Maria Maggiore is the first Marian sanctuary in the Western world and the mother of all sanctuaries.[2] The basilica enshrines the venerated image of Salus Populi Romani, depicting the Blessed Virgin Mary as the health and protectress of the Roman people, which was granted a Canonical coronation by Pope Gregory XVI on 15 August 1838 accompanied by his Papal bull Cælestis Regina. Pursuant to the Lateran Treaty of 1929 between the Holy See and Italy, the Basilica is within Italian territory and not the territory of the Vatican City State.[3] However, the Holy See fully owns the Basilica, and Italy is legally obligated to recognize its full ownership thereof[4] and to concede to it “the immunity granted by International Law to the headquarters of the diplomatic agents of foreign States.“[3] In other words, the complex of buildings has a status somewhat similar to a foreign embassy. Pope Francis’ favourite church. Every year, the pope visits Santa Maria Maggiore to pray before the Salus Populi Romani, a revered icon of the Virgin Mary housed in the Borghese Chapel. The basilica is particularly famous for its golden mosaics that depict biblical scenes, as well as the Relics of the Manger, said to be pieces of the manger from Jesus’ birth. Crypt of the Nativity – fragments of wood said to have held the infant Jesus. Santa Maria Maggiore was commissioned following a miraculous event in 358 AD. According to legend, the Virgin Mary appeared to Pope Liberius in a dream, instructing him to build a church on a site where snow would fall in August – a miraculous event in Rome’s hot summer. The following day, snow appeared on the Esquiline Hill, marking the basilica’s location. The Bells of Santa Maria Maggiore: The basilica is famous for its bell tower, which is the tallest in Rome, standing at 75 meters (246 feet). Its bells are still rung for special ceremonies. SOURCE |
| Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls Saint Paul is one of the four papal basilicas and the second largest after Saint Peter’s. It was built on the burial site of Saint Paul. Since 1980, this impressive place of worship, famous destination of pilgrimage since 300 AD, has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
This basilica has very ancient origins. The main feature of this church, as well as its enormous size, is the Byzantine character of both the structure and the decorations. According to tradition, the basilica was built at the exact spot where Paul’s disciple, Timothy, buried the body of the saint, who had suffered martyrdom in a nearby area, where the Abbey of the Three Fountains stands today. Recent excavations have confirmed this hypothesis, bringing to light the remains of a large ancient burial site. In 330 AD, Pope Sylvester built the first (small) church here, oriented towards Jerusalem. Just a few years later, in 390, another basilica was inaugurated. This was much larger, to welcome the many pilgrims who came to pay homage to the saint from all the corners of the known world. The portraits of the popes – If you look up, above the arches of the side aisles, you will see a decoration formed by circular mosaics. There are 256 of them, and they depict all the popes, from Saint Peter to Pope Francis. These are realistic portraits only for the popes from the year 1500 onward. The triumphal arch – This ancient mosaic dates back to the Byzantine period. The patron of this artwork representing the Christ Pantocrator, with Peter and Paul below, was Galla Placidia, a powerful and famous Roman noblewoman, daughter of an emperor, granddaughter of three others, wife of a Visigoth king and later of a Roman emperor. He was regent during the reign of his son, Emperor Valentinian III, crowned at the age of six. The tomb of Saint Paul, The chains and the eternal flame – In the center, under the ciborium, is the site of the tomb of Saint Paul, which is located a little lower than floor level. Here you will also find an illuminated shrine containing the chains used to hold Saint Paul prisoner before martyrdom. On the side, there is a lantern with a burning flame. It is called “eternal flame” and is always kept alight by the Benedictine monks, to witness their living faith. The cloister – Next to the basilica, there is the beautiful cloister built by the Cosmati and the Vassalletto families, who were the famous Roman marble artists, at the beginning of the thirteenth century. It is a very peaceful place, adorned with carefully tended flowerbeds. It is one of the absolute masterpieces of this type of architectural structure, especially thanks to the efforts of Pietro Vassalletto, who also built the cloister of San Giovanni in Laterano. Engraved on the walls, there are six examples of Triplice Cinta (three concentric squares). It is a symbol whose origin is not very clear, but seems to be associated with the shape of the Gardens of Solomon. It also has an esoteric value, and is often found in religious buildings associated with strong energy powers. The symbol corresponds to the board game Tria, very popular since the Middle Ages The Prophecy of the monk MalachiMalachi was a Benedictine monk who lived in Ireland in the 12th century. Four hundred years after his death, a document attributed to him was made public. On this ancient parchment, he described all the future popes, starting with Celestine II, his contemporary, with brief but incredibly faithful annotations. Malachi stated that, after Celestine, there would have been another 111 popes. After the last pope of this list, the Church will come to an end, and possibly the world will follow! Incredibly, the circles featuring the portraits of the popes in the basilica, from Celestino onward, are actually 111, and the last one is occupied by the portrait of Pope Francis. However, in reality, this portrait is placed at the end of a nave: just around the corner there are other empty round shapes ready to accommodate the faces of the next popes. Furthermore, historians have many doubts about the authenticity of the Malachi parchment: it could be a forgery skillfully made in the sixteenth century. |

| Basilica of St. Mary Major (to be opened on Jan. 1): New Year’s Day — also a holy day of obligation, the Solemnity of Mary Hag’s Day – honoring the goddess as She Who Transforms; Day of Ishtar ( Inanna, Ashtart, Ashtaroth, Ashtoreth, Anat, Astarte, Anaitgis, Atar, Isis): Goddess of Love & Battle. New Year’s Eve was celebrated in ancient times and ancient Greece, contrary to what some may believe. Celebrating the advent of the New Year on January 1st amidst the cold bleakness of winter is actually among the most universal pagan traditions. The custom of marking the beginning of the New Year is at least 4,000 years old and has its roots in ancient Babylon in Mesopotamia. Mesopotamians worshipped the sun at least 2,000 years before the birth of Christ. These pagan customs were passed on to ancient Greece directly from the ancient Mesopotamian city of Babylon. Before this contact, ancient Greeks were not known to celebrate the New Year other than marking the “sickle of the new moon” upon recognizing the visible new moon as the beginning of each new month. They practiced this custom in honor of Selene, Apollon Noumenios, Hestia and the other household gods, also known as noumenia. Epigraph discovered shows New Year’s eve was celebrated in ancient timesHowever, an epigraph discovered in Athens tells of a religious ceremony that took place at the beginning of the New Year, or actually on the last day of the outgoing year. The celebration was in fact a sacrifice made by the outgoing officials of the city, which they would offer to “Zeus the Savior” and “Athena the Savior”. This was done to ensure the blessings and favor of the two gods for the coming new year. It was not until ancient Roman times, and while Rome was growing in power, that New Year festivities began to become extremely popular. A celebration known as Saturnalia, a time of reveling, drinking bouts, orgies and human sacrifice in honor of the god Saturn, was instituted as the festival of January 1st by Julius Caesar. The Roman emperor did this in 46 B.C. upon his epochal decision to adopt the Julian calendar. The popularity of the orgiastic celebration of Saturnalia spread to all corners of the Roman Empire and continued to integrate, with local alterations, into the existing customs of all peoples within the Empire’s boundaries, including those of ancient Greece. It was Julius Caesar and Sosigenes of Alexandria, an astronomer whom Caesar consulted for the design of the Julian calendar, who are responsible for bringing the count of the days of the year into conformity with the course of the sun. All in all, the sequence, duration and names of the months we still use today are in great part a result of the perception and insight of the great Roman politician and strategist. In ancient Greece, city-states used their own calendarIn classical Greece, every city-state used its own calendar, with different names of the months, beginnings of the year, and intercalations, or insertions of extra time periods. However, most of the calendars shared some common features. The Greeks used lunisolar calendars with years of 12 or 13 months and 354 days. A month could be considered “hollow” or “full,” having either 29 or 30 days respectively. Periodically an extra month had to be inserted, or intercalated, to keep the calendar in line with the circuit of the seasons. In the most well-known and historically-substantiated Athenian calendar, the civil calendar, (there were other two calendars as well), the intercalated month came after the annual month named Poseidon. It was known as “Second Poseidon”. Some months were named after the festivals celebrated during the months, for example:
The Greek year in those times began on the first sighting of the crescent moon after the first new moon following the summer solstice. Intercalation followed no fixed pattern, although several cycles were known to be used in Greece. |

The fifth Holy Door will be located at the Roman prison of Rebibbia and will be opened on Dec. 26. Pope Francis said that the act of opening a Holy Door at a prison is an invitation for prisoners to “look to the future with hope and a renewed sense of confidence.” According to the church’s Dicastery for Evangelization, it will be “the first time that — in addition to the Holy Doors opened in the four Roman Papal Basilicas — one will also be opened in a penal institution too.”
Pope Francis also oversaw the last Jubilee in 2015. He declared it an “extraordinary” Jubilee — one declared separately from the traditional 25-year gap of the “ordinary” Jubilee — and dedicated it to the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second Vatican Council in 1965, the most recent ecumenical conference in which Catholic leaders convened to update certain elements of the Church to reflect the modern, more secular world. The last “ordinary” Jubilee took place in 2000.

| Roman prison of Rebibbia and will be opened on Dec. 26.: December 26 has its own unique significance and is observed as a holiday in many countries.Commonwealth countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, December 26 is celebrated as Boxing Day. This public holiday is traditionally observed on the day after Christmas Day and is believed to have originated in the 19th century.
The exact origins of Boxing Day are unclear, but it is thought to have originated in the tradition of giving gifts, known as “Christmas boxes,” to servants and tradesmen on the day after Christmas. Today, Boxing Day is celebrated with sports events, shopping, and spending time with family and friends. In Ireland, December 26 is celebrated as St. Stephen’s Day, a public holiday that commemorates the life of Saint Stephen, one of the earliest Christian martyrs. The day is traditionally marked with music, dance, and feasting, and is also known for its horse racing events. Boy that sounds like a typical Roman Holiday |
| St. Stephen the Martyr is a saint of the Christian Church, who is recognized as the first Christian martyr. He is celebrated on December 26th in the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Anglican churches, and his feast day is considered one of the principal feasts in the Christian calendar.
St. Stephen is considered the patron saint of deacons and stonemasons, and is invoked for the protection of the Church and for the strength to endure persecution. Many churches, hospitals, and other institutions are dedicated to him, and his cult has spread throughout the world. After the Ascension seven Deacons were chosen for the Church, and the first one named was “Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost”. His ministry was very fruitful, for he was “full of grace and fortitude”, and “did great wonders and signs among the people” The association with stonemasons comes from the account of his death, in which he was stoned to death. This led to St. Stephen becoming the patron saint of stonemasons, as their work often involves the use of stones. SOURCE The Feast of King Stephen During his lifetime, good King Stephen, first Christian king of the Hungarians, had offered the Hungarian people to the Blessed Virgin Mary. As he lie on his deathbed—his right hand holding high the Holy Crown—Stephen prayed, asking Our Lady to be the Queen of the Hungarians. As part of the investigation leading up to the canonization of St. Stephen, first Christian king of Hungary, his body was exhumed. While most of the body had decayed, his right hand and arm remained incorrupt. Here’s where the story gets really odd: The incorrupt arm was cut up and divided among European royalty, but the “Holy Right,” Stephen’s right fist, was kept by the Hungarians and placed in the town of “Szent Jobb” (Holy Right), which was built in Transylvania specifically for the purpose of honoring Stephen’s hand. Later, when Szent Jobb (and all of Transylvania) was annexed by Romania, the Holy Right was transferred to the Basilica of King Saint Stephen in Budapest, where it is kept today. On the Feast of St. Stephen (August 20) each year, the first King of Hungary is remembered and the Holy Right is carried in procession through the town.

Mathiasrex, Maciej Szczepańczyk | CC BY-SA 4.0 Philip Kosloski – published on 08/15/24
The crown that was used for many centuries by the kings of Hungary is rich in spiritual symbolism that highlights St. Stephen’s deep faith.
Medieval kings wore crowns to represent their authority and often a crown would be used for many centuries to connect each king to the previous one. This was the case in Hungary, where St. Stephen was the first in a long line of kings.
Eventually a crown was created that was named the “Crown of St. Stephen,“ to honor the first king of Hungary. Spiritual symbolismPope Benedict XVI wrote about the spiritual symbolism of the crown in a letter he sent to the ambassador of Hungary in 2010:
He exhorted the ambassador to not forget the example of St. Stephen and his example of faith:
St. Stephen provided a strong foundation of faith for Hungary, and it is hoped that her people will continue to cling to this beautiful heritage of their ancestors. |
| Rebibbia is an urban zone of Rome, Italy. It is located on the ancient Via Tiburtina on the northeast edge of the city. Administratively Rebibbia is part of both Ponte Mammolo quarter of Rome and Municipio IV of Rome.
The suburb, first developed at the start of the 20th century, consists almost completely of family homes, largely built with few floors and small gardens, in an almost rural style. The two churches of the Via Casal de’ Pazzi and Piazza Ferriani are simple, having been renovated in a modern style. The eponymous prison holds 352 women and 1927 men. It has entrances on vias Bartolo Longo and Tiburtina. It is one of the major Italian prisons intended for rehabilitation and social reintegration of inmates. It housed would-be papal assassin Mehmet Ali Agca during his prison time in Italy, when Agca met his would-be victim Pope John Paul II on 27 December 1983 and was forgiven by him.[citation needed] Ship captain Francesco Schettino is a prominent inmate.[1] Francesco Schettino (Italian pronunciation: [franˈtʃesko sketˈtiːno]; born 14 November 1960)[1] is an Italian former shipmaster who commanded the cruise ship Costa Concordia when the ship struck an underwater rock and capsized off the Italian island of Giglio on 13 January 2012.[2][3] Thirty-two passengers and crew died. In 2015, he was sentenced to sixteen years in prison for his role in the incident. He began serving his sentence in 2017 after exhausting his appeals.[4] |

So, Bibia means bible and the prefix Re- means “undoing, turning back, in opposition, restration to a former state. So the name of the PRISON where the Pope is “OPENING THE DOOR” means to GO BACK TO LIFE BEFORE THE BIBLE!!! Which should not surprise us as Pope Francis has been undermining the WORD of God in everything that he does. AND Francis has clearly stated that he wants a NEW BIBLE!!
spacer
Pope Francis surprised the world today by announcing that the Bible is totally out of date and needs radical change; thus, the Bible is officially canceled and the church announces a meeting with different personalities, with whom it will be decided, the book to replace it, as well as the name and content. Some names are already under study and the most plausible is “Bible 2000”.
“We can’t keep trying to speak to our audience in a whole new world with an old book that is several thousand years old. We are losing disciples and have to try to modernize the church, rewrite the Word of God, even if it is only the Old Testament, in which there are certain passages that it is better not to repeat”, declared the Pope.
The news fell like an atom bomb among the most conservative, who consider it a blasphemy: http://thereisnews.com/pope:

Pope Francis to open Holy Door in Roman prison on feast of St. Stephen for 2025 Jubilee
Pope Francis opens the Holy Door in L’Aquila, Italy. / Credit: Vatican Media
Vatican City, Oct 28, 2024 / 13:25 pm (CNA).
Pope Francis will open a Holy Door in Rome’s Rebibbia prison on Dec. 26, the feast day of St. Stephen. It will be the second of five Holy Doors the Holy Father will open during the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope taking place from Dec. 24, 2024 — Christmas Eve — to Jan. 6, 2026, the feast of the Epiphany.
The opening of the Holy Door in the Roman prison will be a “symbol of all the prisons scattered around the world,” according to Archbishop Rino Fisichella, pro-prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization.
“In the jubilee year we are called to be tangible signs of hope for so many brothers and sisters who live in conditions of hardship,” Fisichella told journalists on Monday, directly quoting Pope Francis’ May 9 bull of indiction Spes Non Confundit (“Hope Does Not Disappoint”).
“I think of prisoners who, deprived of their freedom, daily feel the harshness of detention and its restrictions, lack of affection, and, in more than a few cases, lack of respect,” he continued.
During the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope, Pope Francis is calling on governments worldwide to undertake initiatives to restore dignity to prisoners that “go hand in hand with a concrete commitment to respect for the law.”
“I propose to the governments that during the jubilee year they take initiatives that restore hope, forms of amnesty or pardon that help people to regain confidence in themselves and in society, ways of reintegration into the community,” the papal bull reads.
According to Fisichella, Italy is the first country to have signed a Sept. 11 “amnesty” agreement with the Vatican, which will come into effect during the holy year.
“We signed an agreement with the minister of justice of the Republic of Italy, the Honorable Carlo Nordio, and the government commissioner, the Honorable Roberto Gualtieri, to implement during the jubilee year forms of reintegration for several convicts through their employment in social commitment activities,” he stated during the Oct. 28 press briefing.
While the Dec. 26 opening of the Holy Door in the Rebibbia prison is the first time a pope has opened a Holy Door in a prison in the history of jubilees in the Catholic Church, Pope Francis opened a “door of mercy” at a Roman prison during the Jubilee Year of Mercy in 2015 as a sign of tangible sign of God’s forgiveness.
The other four Holy Doors of the 2025 Jubilee will be located at the Basilica of St. Peter, the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, the Basilica of St. Mary Major, and the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls.

Hebrew Word for Hope

The Hebrew word for hope has a lot of meaning associated with it. Maybe you’ve already heard the word tikvah, or HaTikvah (the Hope)?
In the Hebrew context, both biblically and in the modern Hebrew, hope is more than just a dream. It is an expectation, and a strong expression of faith. The Bible teaches that hope is like a rock you can rely on. You can hold fast to it and it strengthens you.
Through Jeremiah, God promised His people that His plans are not meant for evil, but to give them “a future and a hope [tikvah]” (Jeremiah 29:11). The Hebrew concept of hope is powerful.
A People of Hope
Perhaps there is something specific that you are hoping for. Maybe you have a list of goals to accomplish. Or on the contrary, you feel like you’ve lost all hope. What you need is a reminder that you are not forgotten.
God’s tikvah is a promise of a bright future.
Whatever your circumstances, remember that as God’s people, we are a people of hope. God planted His hope not only in Israel, but in all of us. His plans are for good!
In our Messiah Jesus, we have a lot to hope for. We are afforded great and precious promises. We are partakers of the divine nature, says 1 Peter 1:4.
As believers, we don’t just hope without any assurance. We can believe in faith that what we hope for is also done through Jesus. That is what it means to be partakers of His divine nature.
God’s Reminders of the Hebrew Meaning of Hope
Remember some of these promises on hope found in the Scriptures:
Hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. (Romans 5:5)
The eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints. (Ephesians 1:18)
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23)
The Assurance of Faith
We almost can’t meditate on the subject of hope without also coupling it with faith. If hope looks to the future toward something better, then faith knows that it is done! Tikvah is often coupled with the Hebrew word emunah (read more about it here).
Faith stands in assurance of God’s precious promises. After all, faith is the substance, or assurance, of things hoped for, says Hebrews 11.
These three abide – faith, hope, and love – but the greatest of these is love.
These words in 1 Corinthians 13 remind us that the assurance of our faith and the hope we have in our Messiah must continually be worked out through love. Because Love came in the form of a God man named Jesus, who is our Living Hope.
So, how’s your hope today?

The Hope of Israel: What Is It?
What then is the true and biblical “Hope of Israel”? To obtain a full answer to this question it is necessary that we search the Scriptures from beginning to end. But in order merely that we may have in mind a general idea of the answer while we pursue our study, it will suffice to refer to a few incidents in Paul’s ministry, as recorded in the last chapters of Acts.
The subject is very prominent there, and indeed it was because of Paul’s views and his preaching in regard thereto that he was furiously persecuted by the Jews, and was finally sent in chains to Rome. For we have his own testimony to “the chief of the Jews” at Rome, to whom, when he had called them together, he said: “For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you and to speak with you; because that, for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain” (Acts 28:17-20).
Inasmuch as what Paul had been preaching, both to the Jews and also to the Gentiles, was the gospel of Jesus Christ, and nothing else, it follows that the true “hope of Israel” is an essential part of that gospel; and therefore it is a matter regarding which we cannot afford to be mistaken.
The above quoted statement of Paul to the Jewish leaders at the imperial city is very illuminating. It shows, to begin with, that, whatever it was he had been preaching as “the hope of Israel,” it was something so contrary to the current Jewish notion thereof that it caused the people to clamour for his death (Acts 22:22), and led to his being formally accused before the Roman Governor as “a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world” (Id. 24:5). Had he been preaching what the Jews themselves believed to be, and what their rabbis had given them as, the true interpretation of the prophecies (namely, that God’s promise to Israel was a kingdom of earthly character which should have dominion over all the world) they would have heard him with intense satisfaction. But what Paul and all the apostles preached was, that what God had promised afore by His prophets in the Holy Scriptures was a kingdom over which Jesus Christ of the seed of David should reign in resurrection, a kingdom which flesh and blood cannot inherit, a kingdom which does not clash with the duly constituted governments of this world, and one into which the Gentiles are called upon terms of perfect equality with Jews (Acts 13:23, 34; Acts 17:2,3,7; Rom. 1:1-4; 14:17; 1 Cor. 15:50; 1 Pet. 1:12; cf. Luke 24:26).
Thus the teaching of Christ and His apostles in respect to the vitally important subject of the Kingdom of God, the hope of Israel, came into violent collision with that of the leaders of Israel; and because of this He was crucified and they were persecuted.
It was not a question then, any more than it is a question now, whether or not the prophets of Israel were the mouthpieces of God; for the Jewish rabbis, as well as Christ and His apostles, held firmly to the full inspiration of “the scriptures of the prophets.” It was solely a question then, as it is solely a question now, as to how those prophecies are to be understood – a question of interpretation. The Jewish teachers understood the scriptures, and still interpret them, in what is now (wrongly) called the “literal” sense (i.e. that “Israel” is an earthly people, “Zion” an earthly locality, “Christ” an earthly conqueror, like David, etc., etc.) ; but Paul declared, when speaking of Jesus Christ in one of their synagogues, that it was “because they knew Him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day, that they have fulfilled them in condemning Him” (Acts 13:27).
And now, in concluding this preliminary chapter, let me impress it upon the reader’s mind that the choice presented to orthodox Christians today as to the interpretation of the prophecies concerning “the hope of Israel” lies between that held by the Jews of those days and that for which Christ was crucified and Paul was sent in chains to Rome
