In a rare and historic moment for the Catholic Church, thousands of pilgrims from across the globe have gathered in Assisi to venerate the major relics of Saint Francis of Assisi, publicly exposed for the first time in nearly 800 years.
On May 21 and 22, Saint Pio of Pietrelcina's relics will be brought to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Denver, Colorado, USA.
