Lontano dalla modernità e dal caos, c'è uno dei luoghi più suggestivi e di culto che la splendida terra abruzzese conserva gelosamente. E' l'eremo di Santo Spirito a Majella che si erge a 1130 di altitudine. Incastonato tra le rocce, a detta di molti, è di una bellezza disarmante. Non si conosce precisamente la data di origine, ma sembra che fu Papa Vittore III a lasciare traccia nel 1053 dell'esistenza di questo luogo. Quando scoprì questo posto, infatti, fece costruire subito una chiesa. Nel 1246, fonti certe riportano la presenza di Papa celestino V ( Pietro da Morrone) che fece ristrutturare l'eremo e costruire l'oratorio con una prima cella. Fu proprio lui a dare il nome " Santo Spirito" all'oratorio della Majella. Nel tempo con l'arrivo di nuovi confratelli, fece ampliare i lavori, realizzando nuove celle e aggiungendo anche un secondo oratorio. Nel 1278 il Vescovo Nicola di Fossa concesse all'eremo il titolo di monastero. Un lento declino dovuto a difficoltà economiche e climatiche, portò l'eremo a grandi disagi. Soltanto grazie al monaco Pietro Santucci da Manfredonia, nel 1586, l'eremo riprese "vita" e ottenne il titolo di Badia. Venne costruita la Scala Santa . Nel 1951 le ossa di Santo Stefano detto Lupo vennero portate dal monastero di Manopello al Santo Spirito. Isolato dal mondo,luogo di pace e di riflessione, ha tutta la bellezza e il fascino della natura che con i suoi colori, ambientazioni e panorami, fusi a misticismo, sacro e religioso, rendono questo posto uno dei più caratteristici e suggestivi della Majella.

Thank you Antonio for the visit. Finally after 3 attempts to visit the Hermitage, at the beginning of September c.a. I succeeded. The Pro Loco, thanks to a group of young volunteers, kept it open for visits every summer day. :-P
Next I'll post more photos of the inside. In my opinion it is one of the places in Abruzzo to visit absolutely. Hello Antonio and thank you again, good Sunday.
Ezio ;-)
