Eight hundred years ago, Saint Francis of Assisi died at the age of 44. To commemorate this major anniversary, Le Jour du Seigneur (The Lord's Day) retraces the steps of this towering figure of Christianity, patron saint of Italy. David Milliat takes us on a journey through Assisi and its surroundings. We discover places that marked the saint's life and meet people who, even today, draw inspiration from him: Franciscan friars, Poor Clare sisters, and lay people committed to a life of sharing and simplicity.
