Gentle walks
​to the Sacred Sites of Assisi

Walking in the footsteps of St Francis


Birth Place of St Francis

San Damiano
​Chapel & Olive Trees

This small chapel (the stall) where the Francis was born, is a reminder for all of us that in simplicity truth is born. Visiting the birthplace of Francis, and sitting in the simple peace of the place, is a beautiful way to begin our journey to
experiencing the spirit of St. Francis.
The Chapel of San Damiano is where Francis felt his calling to serve with humility and an open heart. It eventually became the Cloister for St Clare.  It is nestled among the ancient olive trees and was where he began his journey.  The cross spoke to him here and was later moved  to Saint Clare's Cathedral,  where it hangs to this day.

​St Francis

The Tomb of St Francis

The Eremo is a treasure! There are hiking trails behind the Eremo, including grottoes of some of Francis’ companions.
While wandering these trails, we meditate in the exact spot where the brothers sat centuries ago.  Listening to the birds and nature,  the presence of St. Francis is palpably felt.
Francis, of course, did not want a large basilica built for him. He insisted, “I am but a small worm for God”. He is buried  here with most of his brothers.  The great gentle holiness, of this kind saint, can be felt here.

In the Footsteps
