Within the context of Antarctica’s international scientific presence, the Capilla de San Francisco de Asís at Argentina’s Esperanza Base represents the southernmost dedication to Saint Francis of Assisi worldwide. Founded in 1976, the chapel embodies the Franciscan spiritual legacy in an extreme and uninhabited environment. Its significance was reinforced by the arrival of a relic of Saint Francis in 2014 and by liturgical celebrations linked to Pope Francis. The chapel thus highlights the enduring symbolic reach of Franciscan devotion in the most remote region of the globe.

Abstract
Within the context of Antarctica’s international scientific presence, the Capilla de San Francisco de Asís at Argentina’s Esperanza Base represents the southernmost dedication to Saint Francis of Assisi worldwide. Founded in 1976, the chapel embodies the Franciscan spiritual legacy in an extreme and uninhabited environment. Its significance was reinforced by the arrival of a relic of Saint Francis in 2014 and by liturgical celebrations linked to Pope Francis. The chapel thus highlights the enduring symbolic reach of Franciscan devotion in the most remote region of the globe.File in questo prodotto:
