This year’s design holds special significance for two reasons. First, the 2025 Holiday theme for the Governor’s Mansion is “A Time of Giving.” The Capitol, inscribed with “Salus populi suprema lex esto,” meaning “The welfare of the people shall be the supreme law,” perfectly embodies this theme. Second, the Capitol serves as a reminder that Jefferson City, established as Missouri’s state capital, is celebrating its 200th anniversary of incorporation this year.
