Images of the Perdonanza, L'Aquila, August 2009

2009 was a special Jubilee, more sober and more attentive to the religious side of the event. The urn containing the remains of St. Peter Celestine, retrieved from the Fire Department the day after the earthquake under the rubble from the fall of the vault, was in front of the basilica. On this day, the urn of the Pope was carried on a special fire brigade truck. [The photos were taken from the corner of the avenue leading to the Basilica.]
