Good morning and good Sunday!
As it’s Sunday I usually show you something church
related. Today it’s a card of Abruzzo. The part of Italy where I spent many
years of my life. The words under the photo translate: Beautiful Abruzzo “places
of the spirit”.
Top left is the convent of Saint Angelo of Ocre
(province of Aquila)
Top right is the hermitage of the Holy Spirit on the
Maiella. The Maiella was our local mountain, it has ski pistes and lots of
paths to walk and ramble. It’s not so visible on the photo but the buildings
are ‘stuck’ to the side of the mountain. Sadly they are no longer permanently
inhabited, but the monks go there in the summer and hold retreats.
Bottom left is another of my fav places on the side of
a mountain (different mountain though). It’s called the hermitage of Saint
Bartholomew (near Legio in province of Pescara). San Bartolomeo short video It can only be reached on foot
and when I was younger a group of us did the walk every year. One of the popes
of bygone years was exiled there.
The bottom middle is in a church Santa Maria dell’Assunta
in Bominaco (province of Aquila) and bottom right is the abbey of St Clement in
Casauria, province of Pescara.
The stamps are nothing special as this is a card that I
sent to my mother the last time I was in Italy.
Have a lovely Sunday all of you and bare a though for
those who have to work today (nurses, doctors, fire fighters, police etc)
See you tomorrow with Monday map card,
Blessings,
Lisca
