I'll go open one and share what I've learned so far -- and I'm sure many others have more experience and details that can help others.
Hi all, maybe you can help. During the proclaimed Jubilee year of Mercy, the Pope will open the Holy Door in Rome and some of the other Holy Doors around the world will also be open.

Has there been any news of the Holy Door in Santiago being open during this upcoming year of Mercy? (December 6 2015 - November 20, 2016) Normally I think it is only opened in the traditional Holy Years. Thanks for your help.
That's correctHi all, the last I heard was that the door opens on the 13th of December next.
Hope this is correct.
Wish you all well, Peter.

The Archbishop of Santiago will open the Holy Door at the Cathedral of Santiago at 5pm next Sunday 13 December. The Cathedral authorities have been at pains to point out that this is in solidarity with what the Pope in Rome has requested but is not a Jacobean Jubilee Year in the usual sense. There is much talk in Santiago that since there seems to be no publicity for this special year and no great awareness of it then perhaps there will be no significant increase in the number of pilgrims. We'll soon see!
Anyone may go through the Holy Door in the same way that anyone may visit the cathedral or attend services.Can anyone go through the Holy Door or do you have to be Catholic?
Can anyone confirm the closing date for the Holy door this year?
