The religious programme is particularly rich with the visit to the Monastery of Santo Domingo de Silos (Saturday 5), the Eucharistic celebration in the Cathedral of Madrid presided over by the Archbishop (Sunday 6) and the Pilgrim’s Mass in the Cathedral of Santiago, officiated by the Apostolic Nuncio in Spain (Monday 7). After its return to Italy, the Torch will be received on Saturday 12 March in Subiaco, at the Sacro Speco, and on Sunday 13 March in Montecassino, at the tomb of the Saint, and later in Cassino. From Montecassino on Friday 18th March the torch relay will take place, escorted by the running groups of the three towns, Norcia Run 2017 (Norcia), Marciatori Simbruini (Subiaco) and CUS (Cassino) will run entirely on foot along the route of the ‘Way of St. Benedict’, to return to Norcia on the evening of 20th March.
