During the intermediate days, families tend to repair and cleaning work and eat the simple meals of a traveler, attending evening services to reflect on Saint Frances's journey.
On the last day, morning church services begin with families bringing their Unseen Loaves to share at the altar. These are broken up and shared among the congregation. In the late afternoon, a celebratory feast of thanks for the gifts of Saint Frances and Man.
