In a special collaboration with Sr. Barbara Green's Gather@Grand series, we bring you The Canticle Experience — an immersive visual-and-musical journey inspired by Saint Francis’s Canticle of the Creatures.“An Immersive Sacred Experience”
An unforgettable visual and musical journey inspired by the Canticle of Creatures, one of the most revered masterpieces of global spiritual tradition and the oldest known poem in Italian literature, authored by Saint Francis of Assisi.
Celebrating the life of St. Francis
St. Francis of Assisi, 1181 to 1226 — a herald of peace, simplicity, and kinship with all creation—composed the Canticle of the Creatures (also called Canticle of the Sun) in Assisi around 1225.
In it he praises God through creation—Brother Sun, Sister Moon, wind, fire, water, and Sister Mother Earth—later adding lines on forgiveness and “Sister Death.”
Cherished for eight centuries, it distills Francis’s vision and invites gratitude, reconciliation, and care for our common home.
An Immersive Visual & Musical Journey
The Experience
Step into a luminous, immersive sensory experience where Saint Francis’s hymn comes alive like never before.
Guided by the celebrated voice of Friar Alessandro, with an original score by André Ripa, this contemplative journey moves verse-by-verse—from Brother Sun to Sister Mother Earth—inviting you to exhale, belong, and be renewed.
Whether you come seeking peace, beauty, or a deeper connection with creation, you’ll leave with a quiet joy and a gentle call to care for our common home.
