Commentary
La Porte Sainte est une porte ouverte par le pape pour marquer symboliquement le commencement de l'Année sainte.
Chacune des basiliques majeures de Rome possède sa Porte Sainte qui est fermée et murée en dehors de cette période.
La tradition remonterait à 1423, année durant laquelle le Pape Martin V ouvrit pour la première fois dans l'histoire des années jubilaires la Porte Sainte de l'archibasilique Saint-Jean de Latran.
L'ouverture de la Porte Sainte de la basilique Saint-Pierre remonte pour la première fois à Noël 1499. À cette occasion, Alexandre VI voulut que les Portes Saintes soient ouvertes non seulement à Saint-Jean-de-Latran et Saint-Pierre, mais également dans les autres basiliques majeures, Sainte-Marie-Majeure et Saint-Paul-hors-les-Murs...
The Holy Door is a door opened by the Pope to symbolically mark the beginning of the Holy Year. Each of Rome's major basilicas has its own Holy Door, which is closed and walled up outside of this period. The tradition dates back to 1423, when Pope Martin V opened the Holy Door of the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran for the first time in the history of the Jubilee Years. The opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica dates back to Christmas 1499. On this occasion, Alexander VI wanted the Holy Doors to be opened not only at St. John Lateran and St. Peter's, but also at the other major basilicas, St. Mary Major and St. Paul Outside the Walls.

Historical background
VATICAN - PIUS XI (Achille Ratti)
(1922-1939)
Born in 1857, Achille Ratti was a priest in 1879. He was nuncio in Warsaw between 1918 and 1921, then became cardinal-archbishop of Milan and succeeded Benedict XV on February 6, 1922 under the name of Pius XI. "Pope of the missions", he is also very attached to making the Christian spirit penetrate into legislation and is at the origin of numerous concordats with Czechoslovakia, Romania, Yugoslavia, Portugal, the Baltic States. He also obtained the restoration of normal relations with the Italian State during the Lateran Agreements (1929). Faced with the rise of communist and facist powers, he recalls Christian values, particularly in the face of atheism..
