How wonderful to walk on the grounds of the monastery. The stone wall is massive.
There is a Little St. Francis of Assisi Shrine outside my old hometown which I visited regularly when it opens to the public once a year in August. Awhile ago I wrote a story about this Shrine of the Saint of the environment and animals. Seeing your post of this reminds me to find it and revamp for a post.
Hello Jo, I look forward to reading your post. St Francis is very special. We walked his Way in Italy and what astounded us was that he did not wear sandals. Fancy going barefoot. It was a really tough walk.
I can’t image the life he lived in such poverty.
I did the post and put a link to yours on there.
I shall check it out, thank you. St Francis of Assisi is a favourite of mine too.
