Portiuncula Sacra

The Portiuncula Sacra, also known as the Little Portion, is a small chapel located in Assisi, Italy, and is significant for its connection to Saint Francis of Assisi. Built around 1200, it became a vital site for the Franciscan order, as Saint Francis received a divine call there to live a life of poverty and service. The chapel symbolizes humility, devotion, and the mission of caring for the poor and the less fortunate. Today, it remains a place of pilgrimage and spiritual reflection, highlighting the Franciscan values of simplicity, humility, and compassion.
