This afternoon we’ll visit the sanctuary of La Verna, located in the Tuscan Apennines. In the summer of 1224 St Francis withdrew to this monastery and it is here that he received the stigmata, a term used by members of the Christian faith to describe body marks or sensations that correspond to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus Christ. Today the monks produce herbal remedies and liquors at the monastery. We’ll continue to our hotel on the shores of Lake Trasimeno, our base for the next 4 nights.
