The pilgrimage to Rome really would be about going through the Holy Door at St. Peter's (or the other specific basilicas in Rome), but the archbishops have been given permission to designate some church doors in their dioceses as holy doors. These holy doors give one the same indulgence that one would get if one went to Rome and went through the Holy Door at St. Peter's. Of course there's all the other requirements like confession, praying for the Holy Father's intentions, etc., but totally doable. Personally my nerdy side is saying that all the holy doors are actually just portals to another dimension. <br /><br />I'm never gonna say though that a pilgrimage to Rome wouldn't be amazing, but you can get the indulgences of this Jubilee Year even if you can't get to Rome this year.
