Diocese of Jaca to celebrate 950 years

The Diocese of Jaca will celebrate its 950th anniversary in 2027. The diocese marks this milestone based on the year 1077, which is identified as the period when Jaca consolidated and institutionalized its status as a stable episcopal see.

A three-person commission is organizing the anniversary events. Belén Luque Herrán, director of the Diocesan Museum, will manage exhibitions. Ricardo Mur Saura, a history professor, will oversee lectures, writings, and publications. Jesús Lizalde Giménez, the cathedral dean, will manage institutional matters and music.

The planned program includes an opening Mass in early March, various lectures throughout the diocese, organ and vocal concerts, and several exhibitions, some of which will travel. The celebrations will conclude with a closing ceremony.
