    To the right of the apse of the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, there is the rose garden. This place is famous for an event that involved Saint Francis: one night, the Saint, overcome by strong doubts and remorse for sin, rolled over naked in the thorny rose garden. According to tradition, this rose garden lost all its thorns upon contact with the body of the Saint so as not to cause any damage. Even today the rose garden blooms without thorns. (Wikipedia)
