Up to San Miniato

On the feast of the Epiphany, we made a pilgrimage up to the church of San Miniato, located on a hill just south of the late thirteenth-century city gates. Here are some of us on our walk up the hill.


Almost there...the facade beckons!


We visited the crypt of the church, where the relics of San Miniato, one of Florence's only early Christian martyrs, were placed when the church was built in the 11th century. The relics are in the little casket inside of the altar.
