For a Christmas of Peace and HopeFrom December 1st to January 6th, Assisi rejoices with lights, sounds and colours, in moments and places that we will make this Christmas, the birth of Jesus, the “Feast of all Feasts”, really special.

A rich program of events that will touch the historic centre and the nearby villages, the most known places as well as the most unusual places of Assisi, with some highlights: the exhibition of many nativity scenes throughout the territory, live nativity scenes in the hamlets and villages, Christmas lights and the lightening of Christmas trees, liturgical celebrations, concerts of best wishes for the new year.The City of Assisi strongly wants “Christmas in Assisi” to become a central event during the year, as Saint Francis wanted: the party of life, the feast of fraternity, a festival of lights, a feast of solidarity, joy, wonder, an event for children and families, the festival of peace.It is in this year 2019 that we celebrate the two 30th anniversary of the Sister Cities Assisi and Bethlehem: we will celebrate this anniversary during the Christmas time, in sobriety but not in silence. We will turn the Christmas lights on together with Bethlehem, to highlight the meaning of brotherhood and peace, in the eight hundredth anniversary of the peace pilgrimage of St. Francis to the Holy Land. Because Assisi is responsible for being a model of dialogue and peace, as St. Francis was 800 years ago. This year in particular, on the way to the extraordinary meeting held by Pope Francis in Assisi with young people to rethink and re-found economy (The Economy of Francesco, March 28, 2020), “Christmas in Assisi” will be dedicated to sobriety and sustainability, to promote the universal Franciscan values that focus on people and the environment.

Trees, many trees, illuminated with warm and low energy consumption lights, many non-plastic water bottles in the hands of young people in order to promote a ‘brave cultural

revolution’ against any exploitation of the environment and the poorer...together we really want to send a

message from Assisi, in the 40th Anniversary of the proclamation of St. Francis patron Saint of ecology: we can, we must change the world starting from

every single action!Merry Christmas to you all, dear ones Fellow

Citizens!Merry Christmas to all of you, dear visitors,pilgrims, tourists, men and women of good

will, friends and lovers of Assisi!May this Christmas be of hope, light

and Peace!

Poetry Contest “La poesia ho infilato al ramo...” La poesia ho infilato al ramo.Sbatte, non cede al vento.Mi preghi: “Toglila non scherzare”.Viene qualcuno. Guardano, incuriositi.Non possiamo stare a discutere.Andiamo, via. “Ma la dimenticherai...”Ma sì, una nuova te ne scriverò domani.Che importa una poesia perduta!Al ramo non fa peso.Quante poesie vorrai ti scriverò, tanti alberi, tante poesie.

Evgenij Evtušenko
