The Relics of Carlo Acutis
In Assisi in October 2020, the incorrupt body of Carlo Acutis was unveiled to the faithful. It is located in a shrine and every day many pilgrims come to pray before the one who will be canonized by Pope Francis during the Jubilee for Adolescents in April 2025.
Since his beatification, relics have been traveling to different countries around the world.
Venerating Carlo Acutis in Assisi
"For the very first time, (..) we can perceive that holiness is not a distant thing, but within everyone's reach" is what Bishop Sorrentino said during the opening of Carlo's shrine in front of the faithful present in Assisi. Pilgrims flock to ask for graces or to give thanks as was the case with the young woman miraculously healed from her fall through the intercession of Carlo Acutis.
The incorrupt body of Carlo means that his organs are intact but his body has undergone decomposition. His face has undergone a very realistic reconstruction.
In addition to the veneration of the body in the shrine, it is possible to pray before the reliquary containing Carlo's heart.
