Scope and content

On the first page there is depicted Pope Pius XII opening the Holy Door or 'Porta Sancta' which is only open during a Holy Year (Jubilee), which occurs every 25 years . On the first day of a holy year, the Pope strikes the brick wall with a silver hammer and opens it to the pilgrims. The message imparted by the Holy Door is that God's mercy reaches out to mankind's frailty. On the next three pages, one finds a small write-up about the Jubilee Year in Italian, English and French, one language for each page. In the middle of the image, there is a blank page, with 2 small holes and a border. Most probably, a picture of Fr marjanu Vella OFM was affixed here, as his rubber stamp is found at the bottom of the same page. On the back middle page, there is written in pencil the number 4.
