Journey with us to the medieval city of Siena, known for the Palio, and the Palazzo Pubblico. In Siena, we will spend time visiting the Basilica of San Domenico where we will experience the amazing energy of St. Catherine known with her disciples as "Pilgrims for Peace". This basilica is known as one of the most important in the city, and houses several relics of St. Catherine, including her head and thumb, which are entombed in bronze inside the basilica. The interior of this significant church is built upon the Egyptian cross design, with a transept featuring high chapels.
We will again encounter St. Catherine in Rome at the Basilica of St. Mary, built over an ancient Temple of Minerva, which houses the tomb of St. Catherine.
Precious wonders await us in Siena as we explore the beautiful Tuscan countryside; it is an enchanted land calling us to awaken to higher levels of awareness on our journey through sacred Italy. Join me as I help us unravel the many mysteries we will experience in this sacred place.
Blessings, love and light,
Finbarr
