THE MEANING OF THE LOGO

The blue circle represents the earth. Over it is a cross sustaining humanity on the five continents represented by five doves of different colors. The cross is made up of the same colors as the doves to indicate the mystery of the Incarnation: Christ takes on our human condition, "becoming like us." God enters the history of humanity, redeeming it. A point of light comes from the center of the Cross to remind us that Christ is the light of the world, our Savior.

The four words in the blue globe read: "Christ yesterday, today, forever."

The circle formed by the five continents recalls the spirit of solidarity with which the Church desires to celebrate the Jubilee. The colors (green, yellow, amber, blue and grey) form a harmonious whole, indicating the joy and peace called for in the Jubilee celebrations.
