High on Monte Subasio, visit the Hermitage of Carceri, near which St. Francis preached his sermon to the birds. On to the Church of St. Damiano, where the voice of God spoke to Francis through a crucifix and where St. Clare spent her life in prayer. View the Porziuncola within the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels – St Francis was inspired by this small church that is considered the source of the Franciscan movement. Later visit the Basilica of Saint Clare, where she is buried; the San Francesco Piccolino Church, Francis’s supposed birthplace; and the marvelous Saint Rufino Cathedral of Assisi, where Francis and Clare were baptized.
