The Transitus of St. Francis of Assisi

 

 Traditionally celebrated by Franciscans all over the world on October 3rd. This is the vigil of the Feast of St. Francis and is an evening to commemorate the glorious passing away of our beloved seraphic father. Transitus is a Latin word that means passage or crossing over. In every account written on the death of St. Francis, it is remembered that he crossed over from life on earth to eternal life with the Lord, full of great joy and song.
