August 26 - Indulgence Granted During Celestine V Year
 
Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days
 
On Benedict XVI's behalf, the Apostolic Penitentiary is granting a special plenary indulgence to those who pray before the remains of St. Celestine V during the year dedicated to him.

His remains will be on pilgrimage during this year throughout the dioceses of the region where people were affected by the quake, so that the faithful, having fulfilled the other requirements, can receive the indulgence.

Now a saint, Celestine V is also remembered for promulgating the "perdonanza" [pardon].

It began shortly after he was elected as Pope, and arrived to L'Aquila where he was crowned on Aug. 29.

As a gift to all the people, he decided that those who confessed and were sincerely repentant, and visited the Basilica of Santa Maria di Collemaggio in that city, between Aug. 28 and Aug. 29, would receive the remission of sins and the absolution of punishment.

Until then, a plenary indulgence was only granted to those who went to the Holy Land as crusaders and to pilgrims who visited the Portincula of Assisi.
