Pilgrimage to Italy: Don't Go Without This Book!
Nevada City, California, — The Pilgrim’s Italy: A Travel Guide to the Saints by James and Colleen Heater has been revised and updated. Published by Inner Travel Books, this second edition provides pilgrims with vital information for visiting profound pilgrimage sites in Italy, meditating on the lives of the saints, and experiencing their blessings. Spiritual travelers and pilgrims of all faiths will appreciate the addition of up-to-date information on two revived ancient pilgrimage routes, the Via Francigena and the Cammino di Francesco.
The Via Francigena originates in Canterbury, England and transverses Italy from the northwest Alps to Rome. The Cammino di Francesco, a fifty-mile footpath in the Rieti Valley, links the sanctuaries frequented by St. Francis of Assisi. The Pilgrim’s Italy recommends that every pilgrim stay in monasteries and convents. With the unfavorable exchange rate for the Euro, it not only makes economic sense to stay in religious housing, but it also enables the pilgrim to remain in the inspirational vibration of prayer and meditation. This is one of many invaluable tips in this revised edition for enhancing the spiritual experience. Additionally, all contact information and resources are updated, with the inclusion of the latest books and websites for finding lodging in monasteries and convents. Pilgrims will be grateful for new information on two beloved saints, St. Anthony of Padua and St. Pio of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio). Three shrines related to St. Anthony of Padua have been added: two in Camposampiero and one in Arcella.
The ever-popular shrine to the twentieth century stigmatist, St. Pio, now has a new ultramodern church that holds up to 8,000 pilgrims.
