Marcia Francescana, Assisi from July 25 to Aug. 4th, 2012

Assisi (PG) - The second edition of the Marcia Francescana towards Assisi will take place from July 25th to August 4th, offering youngsters aged between 18 and 35 tend days of meditation whilst walking through some of the most magnificent scenery in Umbria. The march retraces the itinerary that St Francis made in 1216 and will culminate in the arrival in Santa Maria degli Angeli for the Festa del Perdono indulgence celebration.

The itinerary traced by the march each year runs along the Biferno basin, from Casacalenda to Guardialfiera, Palata, Guglionesi, Larino, Ururi and Portocannone. Besides walking, it is an appreciation of the atmosphere of spirituality shared by all that is the driving force of the event. Brotherhood and restraint are the leitmotifs of the whole initiative, alongside prayer and the sharing of whatever anyone has brought along with them for the journey.
