The Spuort of Fra Tommaso, located in San Donato Val di Comino, is a fascinating attraction that tells the story of Tommaso da San Donato, a 16th-century Capuchin friar considered to be \"in the odor of sanctity.\"<\/p>\n
Donato Leone's 1998 paintings depict significant moments in the life of Brother Thomas, a humble, chaste and obedient man who dedicated his life to the poor and the sick.<\/p>\n
Brother Thomas died in 1648 and his funeral was so crowded that armed force was required to contain the crowd. His face was smiling and a suave fragrance emanated from his body, so much so that many acclaimed him a saint and wanted a relic. D. Tommaso De Franchis, president of the Neapolitan Curia, said that if the Church still had the rite of canonizing saints by \"Populorum acclamationes,\" Fra' Tommaso would have been canonized.<\/p>\n
The body of Brother Thomas, considered a Servant of God in waiting for sainthood, is buried in the Chapel of St. Seraphim, where the plaque reads \"Hic iacet F. Thomas a Sancto Donato qui obiit die 22 martii 1648.\" Visit the Spuort of Fray Thomas to discover his moving story and be inspired by his dedication to faith and charity.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":20865,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","class_list":["post-20864","poi","type-poi","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","pcea-bambini","pcea-coppie","pcea-famiglie","pcea-gruppi","pcea-individuale","tluo-architettura-storica","intprin-storia","tempodivisita-15-30-minuti","stagioneideale-tutte-le-stagioni","caratteristiche-elementi-artistici-da-scoprire","caratteristiche-luogo-ricco-di-storia","caratteristiche-luogo-simbolo-del-paese","caratteristiche-parcheggio-nelle-vicinanze","tipologia-biglietti-non-prevede-un-biglietto","audioguida-su-richiesta","linguadisponibile-inglese","linguadisponibile-italiano"],"yoast_head":"\n
