Feast of Saint Francis: ⛪️🙏❤️Italy 🇮🇹
800 years since the death of Saint Francis
Eight centuries have passed since that night of 3 October 1226, when Francis died at the Porziuncola, with his friars around him. He was only forty-four, yet his body was already exhausted: the poverty embraced to the full, the stigmata borne in silence, the illness that in his final years had made him frail, almost blind. The sources, however, speak of a serene, peaceful face.🙏
