Holy See launches the first 'Official Backpack of the Pilgrim' for the 2025 Jubilee

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 11 - A pilgrim preparing for the 2025 Jubilee knows that walking is about the ability to leave the superfluous at home and bring only what's needed for an experience of faith and reflection.
    For this reason, the Section for Fundamental Questions regarding Evangelization in the World of the Holy See's Dicastery for Evangelization, which has the job of organizing the 2025 Ordinary Jubilee, has decided for the first time to offer a product designed and created for everyone who wants to take the road to Rome: the official backpack of the pilgrim.
    After examining several projects, the Dicastery opted for the concept created by the Stegip4 group.
    "I was very happy to receive proposals from some enterprises, both Italian and foreign ones, for the production and sale of an official backpack of the pilgrim for the next Jubilee in 2025. I am well aware of how useful a backpack is during a pilgrimage or a hike and how good it is to keep it at the end, with the marks left by time and use, as a memento full of memories of the pilgrimage and of those days of prayer and reflection full of emotion and, because of this, unforgettable", said Mons. Rino Fisichella, Pro-prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization, as he commented on the commission being awarded to Stegip4.
    It is possible to find out about the details of the backpack, which will go on sale soon, and the whole kit that it contains - cap, scarf, water bottle, rosary and much besides - by visiting the www.zainodelpellegrino.com and https://www.stegip.it/s4giubileo Internet sites.
    "Our aim is to offer an innovative item that also respects the environment as much as possible and appeals to young generations," added Gino Conversi, the company's Marketing Director. "But it is also designed for people who have taken part in Jubilees or pilgrimages in the past".
    Thanking the Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization for the trust granted, Dr. Stefano D'Ambrosio, the Founder and CEO of Stegip4, added: «the choice of the Dicastery for Evangelization is a choice that makes us proud, and one which rewards the great attention of Stegip4 both for high-quality standards and for respect for the ecosystem. This is why we have created a product that combines creativity, ethical fair trade and a low environmental impact. The product seeks to embody, in the best possible way, the motto of the 2025 Jubilee, Peregrinantes in Spem - Pilgrims of Hope, an invitation to rebuild a climate of hope and confidence in order to look to one's future positively. To build a future of rebirth, a task everyone must take on and carry on their backs. Just like a backpack holding the things that really count". (ANSA).
