Assisi-
A beautiful
serene town sat up on a mountain was our
next stop. A 4 hour drive north from Sorrento. So much too say so I will just leave you a
photo or 2 or 3 or .....  |
| Our first glance of Assisi- yeah hope dermot loves it as much as me... |
 |
| Sunsets are so beautiful here |
 |
| Brid at sunset in Santa Chiara piazza |
 |
| the Portiuncola inside the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli |
 |
| a view from the valley of Santa Francesco Basilica |
 |
| Brid outside San Damiono - where St Chiara lived. |
 |
| The inside Garden. This is where St Chiara- or as we call her St Clare until her death |
 |
| Dermot and I just loving the view and the Spirituality of this city |
 |
| St Chiara at the Basilica of St Chiara |
 |
| Dermot was determined to get to this little church called San Stefano- it was a very long complicated treck up many many stairs and steep roads within the Assisi. |
 |
| He had to have a photo outside. We got to the church 10 minutes before closing time. Just in time. Thank You Lord |
 |
| Our last night looking down on the valley at sunset...again....beautiful view with lovely company and meal Dermot and Brid both loved Assisi. We stayed in a monastery of San Collette. A companion of St Chiara. We drove through the street of Assisi to get to our accomodation. A bit scary. I couldn't believe the pathways !! that we needed to negotiate to get us there. |
Beautiful photos, Leanne! Are St. Chiara and St. Clare the same people? I didn't know that her body was incorrupt. It must have been awesome to see all this in person!
ReplyDeleteGod bless, Leanne:-)
Hi vicki, Yes they are the same person. Yes Chiara is Italian for Clare. Why do we call her Clare I have no Idea, But CHiara is such a pretty name.
DeleteIt was pretty awesome. But what made it more special was sharing it with my family.
God Bless
