You will start the day enjoying a delicious breakfast at the hotel. Then you will have the rest of the day free to visit the town and its artistic and cultural heritage. Padre Pio lived in San Giovanni Rotondo from 1916 until the day of his death on September 23, 1968. Here, on August 5, 1918, Padre Pio received the “transverberation” of Jesus. On the following September 20th, he would again receive the stigmata of the Passion and crucifixion of Jesus. Padre Pio received from God mystical attributes, such as bilocation or the mysterious perfume that his body emanates. On the other hand, it is said that he still performs miracles and helps people who believe and pray to him. On May 2, 1999, Pope John Paul II proclaimed him a Saint. And while around Padre Pio a great spiritual culture was born, the international center of “Prayer Groups” constantly keeps in touch with both Italian and foreign Prayer Groups, assists them in organizing initiatives, supports their activities and provides them with all necessary data and informative material. Close to the monastery there is the Padre Pio Wax Museum that contains historical information about the region as well as mosaics that depict the life of Padre Pio. In this town you will also find the great project of the “Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza” (House of Relief from Suffering), a majestic and modern hospital built near the convent of San Giovanni Rotondo, one of the largest hospitals in Europe. In Giovanni Rotondo you can visit the cave of Santa Maria delle Grazie, where the body of Padre Pio was displayed to the public until 2009.
In the evening you will reflect on your day’s visit and have a restful night at your hotel.
