<p>MANY PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH the Camino de Santiago, the legendary pilgrimage in Spain. Fewer have heard of the Way of St. Francis. At around 300 miles (500 kilometers) this pilgrimage route connects legendary places in the life of history’s most beloved saint, Francis of Assisi.\nStarting in Florence and ending in Rome, it winds through the Apennine Mountains as it traces thousands of years of history in a magical and beautiful land. At its center point is the jewel of the entire route—Assisi. Author and pilgrim Russ Eanes, along with his wife Jane, tackled this challenging and deeply meaningful route after walking 500 miles to Santiago, a pilgrimage that he had waited decades to make. A lifelong admirer and student of Francis, Russ was drawn next to learn what he could by walking through the hills, valleys and towns of Tuscany and Umbria, Francis’ enchanting homeland.\nAlways walking with Assisi as their goal, they discovered lonely mountain passes, cliff-top hermitages, remote villages and monasteries, ancient forests, and charming locals, delicious food, and some of the world’s most spectacular scenery. Above all, they experience firsthand the beautiful land and home of the legendary Saint Francis.</p>
