    The Jubilee Angel heralds the Year of the Jubilee. After seven, seven-year cycles, or 49 years, the 50th year brings grace for all the suffering children, freedom to the captive, relief to the weary and rest to the earth. The Angel stands atop the sphere of the Earth, surrounded by the seven celebration bells. Her message ascends in the form of the sweet and tender Dove of Peace.

    Rinascere Studios proudly features beautiful masterpieces from the Vatican Library collection.

For centuries, only church officials and scholars have had access to the library's contents.
