The bricks and mortar are avidly seized upon by the populace, which values Then the them highly as holy relics. Pontiff, with a cross in his right hand and lighted candle in the other, ends the cardinals and the Rapal Court into the basilica cn foot, where he admits them to the ceremony of the "veneration." A similar ceremony is performed for the walling up again of the door at the end of the Holy Year.
The idea of Holy Year is very old, as we are told that the Jews held some sort of Holy Year every seven years, in which alaves could acquire their freedom. The Church followed the same principle by granting plenary indulgence to all the faithful who journeyed to Rome in cer tain specified years. At first these years occurred at irregulaż intervals till Boni! face VILL. in 1300 established that they should be held once every 100 years. This period was reduced to 50 years by Cle inent Vl., to 33 years by-Urban VI, and to 23 years by Fabl 11 on February 2nd, 1470, the idea being that every man should have the opportunity at least once in his life, of prosting by the special indul gepees which are granted...
Later Pores added other regulations, the chief being that the pilgrims, to enjoy special spiritual favours, must visit each of the four major basilica a minimún number of times during their stay in Rome
PILOTING OF THE PAST.
The success of some of the early Holy Years, with more limited facilities for locomotion in those days, is remarkable. We learn that 2,000,000 people visited Rome in 1475, that 3,000,000 were present in 1600, that scores of people were trampled under foot, that scores more were drawn- ed in the Tiber, that, some Popes were obliged to knock down numerous houses to widen the streets to make way for the crowd was such that it was impossible to close the Holy Door again till Epi phang. .
