We gathered this evening in the beautiful setting of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Merchant's Quay for the second night of three in honour of the 800th anniversary of St Francis death in 1226.
The evening began with a pilgrim walk from St Mary of the Angels, Church Street to Merchant's Quay to bring the image of St Francis and our peace candle. These symbols are a focal point for each celebration. It was a powerful experience to walk silently through the streets of Dublin in the pouring rain. Many people stopped on their way to bless themselves, pause a moment or to take a photo of the fifty strong pilgrim group.
Inside the church at Merchant's Quay, we heard readings from the life of St Francis interspersed with beautiful music and song. The ceremony came to a conclusion with the blessing of Dublin City echoing the way in which St Francis blessed Assisi before he died.
A truly blessed evening in so many ways. Thanks to all involved. ... See MoreSee Less
