On 3 October 2013, nearly 400 migrants lost their lives off the coast of Lampedusa. The memory of that tragedy, etched in the hearts of so many, has become a National Day, dedicated to the memory of the victims of immigration, by a 2016 Italian law.
The Community of Sant'Egidio commemorates the tragic event with a prayer in the basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere, to be attended also by relatives and friends of the victims of that tragic shipwreck.
The prayer will also be broadcast online in live streaming at 8 p.m. on 3 October
