Rome represents the starting point but also the end of the tour , because there will be 2 hours of driving time to get in Lanciano, and then 2 hours to come back from Manoppello to your accommodation

تعتبر مدينة لانسيانو مهدًا للفن قبل كل شيء لوجود العديد من المعالم الأثرية، بدءًا من محراب معجزة القربان المقدس الذي يحفظ شهادة أقدم معجزة إفخارستية في العالم الكاثوليكي. حوالي عام ٧٠٠، في كنيسة سان ليجونزيانو القديمة، أعرب راهب باسيليوس عن شكوكه بشأن وجود المسيح في القربان المقدس. أثناء القداس، يتحول القربان المقدس والنبيذ حقًا إلى لحم ودم. يتم حفظ الآثار في وعاء مقدس يعجب به الآلاف من المؤمنين.

Inside the Shrine of Manoppello is enclosed, in a case, what is recognized as the true Face of Jesus Christ. A legend tells that in 1506 a pilgrim presented himself to the physicist Giacomo Antonio Leonelli and gave him the precious gift. The veil remained in the Leonelli house until 1608, then was stolen by a soldier of fortune and sold to Donatantonio De Fabritiis and from these donated to the Capuchin Father Clemente da Castelvecchio, who placed the relic between two glasses with a walnut frame. From 1646 the Holy Face is exposed to the veneration of the people. It is a soft veil, the warp and the weft are intertwined in the form of a normal weaving. The cloth measures 17 x 24 cm and shows the image of a male face with long hair and a beard divided into bands; it is the only case in the world where the image is identically visible on both sides.
