During the 800 years’ anniversary of the stigmatisation of St. Francis on La Verna, this Franciscan Review continues to feature two papers on the theme. The first paper is a conference delivered by the Custos of the Holy Land, Fr. Francesco Patton OFM, during his visit to Malta on 8 – 11 May 2024, and is a reflection on the relationship between Calvary and La Verna and the relevance of Francis’ stigmata to us today. The second paper deals with the historical truth of the stigmatisation of St. Francis as it is presented in the Treatise on the Miracles of St. Francis by Thomas of Celano.
