Per ricordare gli 800 anni del presepio di Greccio (Natale 1223) abbiamo illuminato ed acceso un albero NATURALE gigantesco alto 30 metri accanto al nostro Convento di S.Francesco in Tripoli. Abbiamo allestito anche un grande presepio sotto le arcate ed un altro piu' piccolo in Chiesa. Il tutto rimarra' illuminato di notte fino al due febbraio 2024.
Ricordiamo che dall'8 dicembre 2023 al 2 febbraio 2024 secondo un decreto di Papa Francesco si puo' acquistare l'Indulgenza plenaria pregando in una Chiesa francescana davanti al presepio ed alle solite condizioni.
BUONE FESTE NATALIZIE A TUTTI.

On the occasion of the 800 years since the first Nativity Grotto established by Saint Francis of Assisi in Greccio Italy.
A plenary indulgence was given by Pope Francis in this occasion from 8 December 2023, the Solemnity of Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to 2 February 2024, Feast of the Presentation in the Temple of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
by visiting the churches run by Franciscan families throughout the world and stopping in prayer in front of the nativity scenes set up there. Likewise, those who are sick or unable to
participate physically can equally benefit from the gift of plenary indulgence, offering their sufferings to the Lord or carrying out practices of piety.
For this Occasion a big natural Christmas tree (30 meters tall) and a large Crib were lighted at Saint Francis Convent Mina - Tripoli. They will remain until the second of February 2024
Happy Christmas Season.
