About this event
On 16 and 17 September the Franciscan Sanctuary of La Verna, in Chiusi della Verna, celebrates the Feast of the Stigmata of Saint Francis, recalling the impression of the sacred wounds received on this very mountain in 1224. The feast gathers hundreds of pilgrims and faithful for prayer, vigils and solemn masses in the basilica and before the Chapel of the Stigmata. The celebration offers a deeply spiritual atmosphere in one of the most evocative places of the Franciscan world. The programme is organised by the friars of the Convent.
Happens every year.
