My profound experience occured in 2005 on my first visit to Italy, in the beautiful little chapel witin the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, outside of Asissi. I believe San Damiano also captures the simplicity and mysticism of San Francesco, but I have yet to go there.
How can anyone beat the universal applicability of the line “It is in giving that we receive”……?

I am drawn to Francis’ crypt also. I love to walk around it and spend time with St. Franacis and his four companions who are also buried with their Seraphic Father!

As a grad of Siena College (N.Y.), Assisi was always a prioity to see when in Italy. What I wasn’t expecting however, was my total inability to leave the pew once I knelt and gazed at Francis’ crypt.
It remains the most mysterious and enduring religious experience in my adult life.

Beautiful photography! We loved Assisi – and could see if from our garden in Perugia, lit as if from within, on Mount Subasio in the distance. Visitors should wander its charming streets and, if possible, climb to the castle above the city and enjoy the view. We were lucky enough to be at the March for Peace a few years ago. You should soon seen this post here!

Assisi is such a beautiful little town – and as you’ve captured in your picture, the countryside near there can be just breathtaking on a clear day! Thanks for the post!
