A video of Franciscan friars in
Assisi frolicking in the snow, building a snowman and having
snowball fights has gone viral on the Internet.
"Dear brothers ad sisters, Sister Snow has arrived", says
Brazilian-born Friar Rafael in the video shot in front of the
upper basilica in the birthplace and shrine of St Francis.
"We're really enjoying it here in Assisi," continues Friar
Rafael, "it's just right for snowball fights".
In the video, posted on Youtube and Facebook, the friars'
snow-fuelled antics are set to music.
They are shown making a snowman with shoes,, two twigs as arms,
stones for eyes, and a scarf around his neck.
