Basilica of Saint Francis, Assisi, Italy -- March 2017

For this week's post, I am sharing a picture from beautiful Assisi, in the Umbria province of Italy. This was the courtyard outside of the the Basilica of St. Francis, where St. Francis of Assisi is buried, near sunset in March 2017.

The old part of Assisi, built into a hillside, is a beautiful town, filled with numerous Catholic churches, outdoor cafes, and houses and gardens and piazzas. I was there for three days as part of a Catholic pilgrimage to Italy. Sts. Francis and Clare, ora pro nobis!
