Body Found Intact
Remains on Display in Assisi's Church of St. Francis
The tomb of Blessed Carlo Acutis has reopened as Italy begins to relax pandemic restrictions. The tomb, which is located in Assisi's Church of St. Francis, had been closed since October 19, 2020.
Acutis was born in London in 1991 and died of leukemia in 2006. He was beatified in 2020 after a miracle was attributed to his intercession. Acutis is known for his love of the Eucharist and his commitment to helping the poor and marginalized.
The reopening of Acutis' tomb is a significant event for his devotees. It is a chance to see his remains and to pray for his intercession. The tomb is expected to be a popular pilgrimage site for years to come.
