[QUOTE="J.Patrick, post: 1192368, member: 61382"] Montefiascone — Oct 20 This morning, first thing, we visited the beautiful Basilica of Santa Christina. It wasn’t as decorated as many Italian churches were, and I think I preferred it for that. It is the burial site of Saint Christina, and also the site of the miracle were in a doubting priest, while saying mass, noted that blood was flowing from the host, he was consecrating. it was after this miracle that the pope initiated the feast of Corpus Christi, the feast of the body and blood of Christ. Repeatedly today, we saw people out, harvesting olives, by spreading large, loose tarps, shaking the trees, and then gathering up the olives. Throughout the day, they were very strong gusts of wind. Just part of the journey. There were a few rest stops for a pilgrims, often with a place to fill up water bottles. These are deeply appreciated after the long up Hills. The route was extraordinarily, beautiful, shifting between lovely, ancient woods, and olive orchards, and a huge vineyard. Often we could see Lake Bolsena in the distance. Each region has had its own beauty. What a joy this is, even though they were very steep ups and downs today on the trail. Montefiascone had the beautiful and ancient St Flavianus Church, and comparatively new and beautiful cathedral, along with spectacular views from the Rocca and the Tower.of Pilgrims. If you were going to complete the minimum pilgrimage, Montefiascone is where you would start. Jim and I are happy to be overachievers, though we have nothing on the people we have met who started in Canterbury. It’s all good. [/QUOTE]
