Feast of the Portiuncula
The Feast of the Portiuncula is celebrated on August 2nd each year, honoring the small chapel located in the town of Assisi, Italy. This chapel, known as the Portiuncula, holds significant importance in the history of the Franciscan Order, as it was where Saint Francis of Assisi received his calling and established the first Franciscan community.
During this feast, many pilgrims visit the Portiuncula to seek spiritual renewal and indulgences. The Catholic Church grants a plenary indulgence to those who visit the chapel on this day, reflecting its importance in promoting the values of Franciscan spirituality and devotion.
