Archbishop Fisichella also unveiled the official mascot of the Holy Year 2025: “Luce” (Italian for light), a cartoon pilgrim dressed in a yellow raincoat, mud-stained boots, wearing a missionary cross and holding a pilgrim’s staff. Luce’s glowing eyes feature the shape of scallop shells, a traditional symbol of pilgrimage and hope.
The mascot, he said, was inspired by the church’s desire “to live even within the pop culture so beloved by our youth.”

Seems they’re trying evangelize the kids and are going to where they are. Gives me Buddy Christ vibes to be honest.
Bringing something that you know some ppl hate the smell of to their homes is crazy. I hope it didn’t stink too badly.
