“The New Church Bell Tower, home of St. Francis of Assisi”…

After a progressive but slow assent up to the mountaintop of Assisi, I took time to pause, look over my shoulder, and truly appreciate all I had seen. God always seemed to illuminate my forward path; however, He also left a glow of remembrance from where the journey began. This evening view is from the Basilica di Santa Chiara (Basilica of St. Clare), a 13th-century church that houses the relics of St. Clare, friend and protégé of St. Francis of Assisi, and the 12th-century crucifix that spoke to St. Francis at San Damiano. This image is a rear view of the church and campanile of The Chiesa Nuova, built in 1615 on the site of the birthplace of St. Francis. The church was aptly named Chiesa Nuova because it was the last church to be built in Assisi at that time. The "New Church" can be defined not so much as the Shrine of St. Francis, but the Sanctuary of St. Francis where he developed his roots of holiness.
