The incorruptible remains of the Spanish Jesuit missionary are encased in a four-century-old silver Mastrillian casket at the Basilica of Bom Jesus. Every decade, the holy relics of St. Francis Xavier are brought down for the Exposition. During the Exposition, the mortal remains are taken in a procession to the Se Cathedral for veneration. The last solemn Exposition (XVII) occurred from November 22, 2014, to January 4, 2015. The Church in Goa and Daman, along with the Universal Church, is preparing for the Jubilee Year 2025. Pope Francis chose the theme “Pilgrims of Hope” for this spiritual event. The theme chosen for the Solemn Exposition is “Xubhvortomanache Porgottnnar ami”/“We are Messengers of the Good News.” A special Logo has been designed for the event. The Theme and Logo focus on every Christian’s responsibility to spread the message of Love, Hope, and Peace to the four corners of the world. A special “Prayer” has been prepared to be prayed every day by individuals and families in their homes, Churches, Chapels, Small Christian Communities, etc. During the Exposition, an art exhibition on St. Francis Xavier will be held.
