Padre Pio: Pietrelcina, San Giovanni Rotondo, past and present - VIDEO

As Pope Francis visits Pietrelcina and San Giovanni Rotondo, the video takes us through the main phases of the life of St. Pio of Pietrelcina, or simply Padre Pio, from the small village of Benevento in southern Italy where he was born and received the stigmata, up to San Giovanni Rotondo where the Capuchin friar bore witness to Christ’s mercy and love for mankind.
