If you want a Christmas devoid of commercialism and steeped in contemplation and peace, The Franciscan Sanctuary of La Verna is for you.
I’m on my way to Umbria and Tuscany today. If time allows, I’d love to visit La Verna. Thanks for the recommendation!
You’re very welcome! Good timing 😃
La Verna is now on my list of places to visit. Earlier this month I spent 5 days at Eremo della Carceri, another St Francis hangout above Assisi. I, also non-religious, found the hermitage and surrounding forest trails to have a unique serenity.
Ciao Bob,
Brilliant! I'm glad this put La Verna on your radar. Let me know how it went after your visit!
