crossroads for the hermitage of San Michele

this is the hermitage of san leonardo

This grotto was dedicated to "San Michele Arcangelo". His portrait can be found as a fresco on the rock wall. The name of the archangel Michael (coming from the Hebrew language) means “Who is like God?” He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human understanding) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints' calendar is September 29th.

Saint Lawrence / "San LORENZO", to whom this church in Contigliano - which is now only a ruin but still dominates the landscape with its silhouette - was dedicated, is one of the early Christian martyrs from a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was archdeacon of the Pope and was asked by the pagan emperor to hand over the treasure to the church. Lawrence asked for three days, during which time he distributed the church assets among the poor inhabitants of Rome and, after the agreed time, came to the emperor with the poor to present them to him as the treasure of the church. He was then martyred to death, the legend says that he was roasted alive on a grate - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Lawrence - over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and told his executioner on the one hand whether he wanted to turn him around. The feast day of San Lorenzo/Saint Lawrence in the calendar of saints is August 10th.

This evocative ruin is what remains of the first settlement of Contigliano. The landscape that can be enjoyed from the hill is breathtaking, with the Rieti valley below and the Terminillo massif standing out on the horizon. To reach the walls closely you have to cross the fields so you have to be careful. Especially during the sowing season.

Arriving in this cave in the woods after having walked the stone staircase arouses a deep emotion. Legend has it that the Archangel Michael, following a battle, locked up a demon in the bowels of the mountain and that he now watches over that this being does not return to earth. This place today is above all a destination for climbers who find something to enjoy themselves in the nearby limestone cliff.
