Holy Year extended?

Anniesantiago · Feb 3, 2021

I apologize if this has already been answered. I did a search on Holy Year and there were three pages of posts, none of which seemed to directly answer the question.

Has the Pope extended Holy Year through 2020?
If so, where can I find the verification?

Thanks,
Annie

Through 2022? Yes.

There is something more official elsewhere, but you’ll see that Ivar lists the Holy Year(s) credential as 2021/22

Official Camino HOLY YEAR 2021/22 Passport (Credential)

THIS CREDENTIAL IS CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK AT THE PILGRIMS OFFICE. Holy year Credential for the holy years 2021 and 2022. This credential does the exact same thing as the regular Camino Credential/Passport, this is just a special design for the two holy years (2021 & 2022). So get the one you...

At the special Mass said in Santiago a few weeks ago it celebrated the Holy Door which is only opened during a Holy Year. At the end of the Mass a Papal Annuncio delivered a special message from the Pope who decreed that 2022 will also be a Holy Year in Santiago.

I was planning my return to the Camino Frances in the spring of 2022, but have the sense it will be very crowded, so I'm thinking of waiting until 2023.

I've made all my reservations for 2022! ::happy jump:::
I don't know that it will be any more crowded than any other Holy Year.
Just have to wait and see.

John Crawford Howell · Feb 4, 2021

I don't know the stats, Annie; I'm making the assumption that modern Holy Years are more crowded than non Holy Years. Perhaps I should not care, and do like you and "happy jump"

The biggest surprise, though the Bishop of Santiago had reportedly requested an extension to July 25th 2022, is that the Pope granted an extension to 31st December instead.

Annie, I never made reservations, but I never walked during a Holy Year. What reservations have you made? How do you know where you will be each night?? Are you talking hotels/casa rurales or albergues? Just want to figure out the things I don't know.

Hi Kathy. Well, I've walked the Frances many times since 2006, so I have favorite places where I stay.
My reservations for 2022 are for a group I take every year or so, and we generally take the same route.
I've emailed most of my lodging folk.
We stay in both albergues and casa rurales.

I received this one from Ivar along with my guidebook but it only has room for 34 stamps.

Many CF peregrinos will fill more than one credencial. I’ve filled nearly four on the CF before now. I filled a credencial on the Camino Ingles in only five days!

If you run out of space you can add extra paper or (sections of ..) another credencial.

Hello, What time does the office close in Santiago today? The website lists different times in different places.
