In 1589, according to local tradition, mysterious lights interpreted as a procession of angels were observed moving toward a sacred image of the Virgin.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6578\"

data-start=\"9774\" data-end=\"9791\">28 kilometers<\/strong>, this is a substantial walking day and an important part of the physical challenge of the pilgrimage. The original route likewise identifies this as a 28 km stage with more than 1,100 meters of accumulated ascent.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10045\" data-end=\"10123\">After completing our walk, transfer according to the final hotel arrangements.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10125\" data-end=\"10169\"><strong data-start=\"10125\" data-end=\"10169\">Dinner and overnight in the Gubbio area.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"10171\" data-end=\"10174\" \/>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"po0qo5\" data-start=\"10176\" data-end=\"10219\">Day 9 \u2014 Pietralunga \u2013 Monteleto \u2013 Gubbio<\/h2>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"8tlav8\" data-start=\"10221\" data-end=\"10269\">Walking Day: Approximately 15 km \/ 9.4 miles<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"10271\" data-end=\"10301\"><strong data-start=\"10271\" data-end=\"10301\">Elevation: +704 m \/ -758 m<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10303\" data-end=\"10416\">Our pilgrimage continues toward one of the places most closely associated with the popular memory of St. Francis.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10418\" data-end=\"10541\">Along the route, we encounter the <strong data-start=\"10452\" data-end=\"10477\">Abbey of St. Benedict<\/strong>, traditionally connected with Francis&#8217; travels toward La Verna.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10543\" data-end=\"10601\">From Monteleto, we continue toward magnificent <strong data-start=\"10590\" data-end=\"10600\">Gubbio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10603\" data-end=\"10687\">It was here that one of the most beloved stories of Franciscan tradition took place.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10689\" data-end=\"10909\">According to the <em data-start=\"10706\" data-end=\"10716\">Fioretti<\/em>, a fierce wolf had terrorized the people around Gubbio. Rather than destroying the animal, Francis approached it peacefully and established reconciliation between the wolf and the townspeople.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10911\" data-end=\"11031\">Whether contemplated as history, tradition or spiritual teaching, the story expresses something essential about Francis:<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"x3fpvy\" data-start=\"11033\" data-end=\"11109\">Peace is not merely the absence of conflict. It requires reconciliation.<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"11111\" data-end=\"11343\">We explore this extraordinary medieval town before retiring for the evening.
