Day 1 | Our pilgrimage begins as we board our plane for an overnight flight to Rome.
Day 2 | Upon arrival into Rome, we’ll drive to Assisi, home of the Franciscan Order. Following hotel check-in, Mass will be celebrated at the Hermitage of Carceri, located in the hills of Assisi.
Day 3 | After breakfast, we will visit the quaint hilltop birthplace of St. Francis. After lunch at one of the trattorias in Assisi, we will proceed to the Church of St. Clare to view the Saint’s body, barely corrupt since her death centuries ago. St. Clare was the foundress of the Order of Poor Clare’s. Then on to the basilica of St. Francis, to view some of the saint’s possessions and the many frescoes depicting his life. Mass is celebrated here. A quick bus ride to the lower village for dinner.
Day 4 | Following breakfast, we leave the hilltop town for the lower village of Assisi to visit St. Mary of the Angels, where St. Francis spent most of his life. We’ll visit the Chapel Portiuncola, the rose bush and the cave where the saint retired for prayer. Next, we depart for Florence, located on the Arno River. Our guided tour will include the magnificent Franciscan church of Santa Croce with it’s beautiful facade, a burial place of nobles, including Michelangelo and Galileo. We’ll continue through Republic Square to the Santa Maria del Fiore, a 13th century cathedral.
