CONTROVERSARY CONTINUES TO SHROUD THE REIGN OF PIUS XII DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR REGARDING ACCUSATIONSRANGING FROM NOT BEING OUTSPOKEN ENOUGH ABOUT THENAZIS TO SYMPATHIZING WITH OR COLLABORATINGWITH THEM. THESE OPINIONS REMAIN SUBSTATNIATED, AND THE EVIDENCE POINTS TO PIUS XII AS A RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL FIGURE THAT OPPOSED THE NAZIS AND COMMUNISTS AND HELPED ACTIVELY TO SECURE THE LIVES OF AS MANY JEWS AS POSSIBLE DURING THE HOLOCAUST.

THIS COIN WAS STRUCK IN HONOR OF THE HOLY YEAR, OR JUBILEE,WHICH IS A GREAT RELIGIOUS EVENT IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC TRADITION. IT IS A YEAR OF FORGIVENESS OF SIN AND RELEASE FROM ITS PUNISHMENTS AND IS USUALLY CELEBRATED EVERY 25 YEARS. AT SAINT PETER\'S BASILICA THERE IS THE HOLY DOOR (PORTA SANCTA) THAT IS WALLED UP WITH BRICKS UNTIL THE START OF THE HOLY YEAR (AT Christmas EVE), WHEN THE DOOR IS UNWALLED AND OPENED FOR PILGRIMS TO PASS THROUGH. THE FOLLOWING Christmas EVE, AT THE END OF THE JUBILEE, THE DOOR IS AGAIN SHUT AND BRICKED UP UNTIL THE NEXT JUBILEE\'S OBSERVATION.
