The Luce & Friends Toys 2025 refers to a creative initiative by the Vatican as part of the Catholic Church’s 2025 Jubilee Year, themed “Pilgrims of Hope.” At its heart is Luce — an official mascot designed by Simone Legno, founder of the tokidoki brand — who embodies a young Catholic pilgrim wearing a yellow raincoat, muddy boots, and carrying a pilgrim’s staff, all symbolic of life’s spiritual journey toward hope and faith. Luce means “light” in Italian and is accompanied by a group of companions — her loyal dog Santino, representing friendship and loyalty, and three colorful pilgrim friends named Fe (faith), Xin (truth), and Sky — reflecting the global and diverse nature of the pilgrimage. Unveiled in late 2024 and showcased at events like Lucca Comics & Games, this initiative aims to engage younger generations in the Jubilee’s message of renewal, faith, and communal journeying, making the centuries-old tradition of pilgrimage more accessible and relatable through pop-culture-inspired characters.
