In order to facilitate the visits of the growing number of pilgrims to the tomb, a new neo-romanic crypt was opened underneath the lower basilica. On 18 June 1939 Pope Pius XII declared St. Francis patron saint of Italy. A votive lamp with oil donated by the various regions of the Italian peninsula burns on the tomb. On 18 January 1978 Pope Paul VI authorized the Minister General of the Friars Minor Conventuals to proceed with the reopening of the tomb and scientific study of the remains of St. Francis. This took place between 24 January and 4 March 1978.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catholically","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67669632843996,"sku":"bbz1791589113468","price":60.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/3104\/7900\/files\/st-francis-of-assisi-relic-medal-with-dustsoil-from-the-tomb_1_6d25b0cc-e195-43a3-bdf0-2f1f8e278145.jpg?v=1791589118","url":"https:\/\/lululemonvx.shop\/products\/st-francis-of-assisi-relic-medal-with-dustsoil-from-the-tomb-71683","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
