Pilgrims can receive a timbro at St Peter\u2019s Basilica and receive the Testimonium at the Vatican offices. The Chartula Peregrini: A Special Diploma for All Pilgrims The “Chartula Peregrini” is a unique diploma that acknowledges the spirit of pilgrimage for all those who arrive in Assisi, regardless of the distance traveled.\u00a0 Featuring the famous blessing by St Francis to Friar Leo, the Chartula Peregrini emphasizes that it is not the distance traveled that makes a pilgrim, but the spirit with which they reach Assisi. The Four-Legged Pilgrim Certificate Recognizing the special bond between pilgrims and their animal companions, the “four-legged pilgrim certificate” is a card representing St Francis and the tamed Wolf.\u00a0 This certificate includes the name of the pilgrim’s dog or any other living being, acknowledging the value of the company provided by animals during the journey to Assisi. St Francis of Assisi is known for his special affection for animals, and this has inspired many pilgrims to walk in the company of their dogs. It is essential to always respect the well-being of animals during your pilgrimage. History and Significance of the Testimonium The Testimonium Peregrinationis Peractae ad Sanctorum Francisci et Clarae Civitatem is the religious certificate that acknowledges your pilgrimage to the tomb of St Francis in Assisi.\u00a0 Its origin is linked to the penitential or judicial pilgrimages in the Middle Ages, where a long journey was undertaken due to a judge’s sentence or a penitence of the confessor.\u00a0 In these cases, it was necessary to demonstrate that the destination had been reached, in order to receive absolution and remission of the civil or canonical penalty.\u00a0 Today, the Testimonium serves as a valuable and precious souvenir, keeping the memory of the pilgrimage experience alive along with the values and feelings that it allowed the pilgrim to discover.
