From the first filmed Jubilee of 1900 to the Jubilee of Mercy, Holy Years progressively became laboratories in which the Church confronted and integrated the emerging audiovisual media. The competing cinematic gazes of Lumière and Biograph, the global reach of Vatican Radio under Pius XI, and the early televisual experiments around the 1950 Holy Year marked decisive shifts in papal visibility. Post conciliar transformations reshaped the tone and narrative of Jubilee coverage, while television enabled unprecedented forms of mediated participation. Under John Paul II, the Jubilee entered a fully global media ecology, merging ritual performance with worldwide spectacle. Across a century, changing media technologies reframed devotional practices, spectatorship, and the public construction of ecclesial authority.
