- The Jubilee Logo
2
5.1. Four stylized figures: They represent all of humanity, coming from the four corners of
the earth. They embrace each other to indicate the solidarity and fraternity which should
unite all peoples.
5.2. Cross: The figure at the front is holding onto the cross. It is a sign of the faith which this
lead figure embraces, and of hope. We are always in need of hope, especially in our
moments of greatest need. The cross bends down towards humanity, not leaving human
beings alone, but stretching out to them to offer the certainty of its presence and the
security of hope.
5.3. Rough waves: The rough waves under the figures symbolise the fact that life’s pilgrimage
does not always go smoothly in calm waters.
5.4. Anchor: The lower part of the cross is elongated and turns into the shape of an anchor
which is let down into the waves. The anchor is a symbol of hope. In maritime jargon the
‘anchor of hope’ refers to the reserve anchor used by vessels involved in emergency
manoeuvres to stabilise the ship during storms.
5.5. Motto: At the bottom of the logo is the motto of the 2025 Jubilee Year: “Pilgrims of
hope”, written in green letters.
