		Or the tiny, cyprus towered San Francesco del Deserto, where St. Francis of Assisi is said to have performed "the miracle of the birds" in 1220.
		It became an ossario: a repository for bones that were occasionally removed from Venice's main cemetery on the island of San Michele and from the various campielli dei morti (literally "little fields of the dead": small cemeteries that were once scattered throughout the historic center of Venice).
		To add to the ghoulishess of the story, Jan says she found a turn-of-the-century guidebook that said that the bones were mined for use in the refining of sugar.

		You will find its quaint villages and gaily coloured fishermen’s cottages extremely relaxing – quite another world - and lunch will be in a typical local trattoria – a favourite of Venetians - where a dizzying array of delicious fresh fish is served.
		The Armenians form one of the oldest foreign communities in Venice and their island is idyllic – an onion-shaped cupola, old cloisters, precious paintings, interesting exhibits, priceless books, an ancient printing-press –; with a backdrop of perfumed gardens and orchards.

		I can't see why San Lazzaro wouldn't be included on the pass, it's on vaporetto route # 20, but that runs VERY infrequently, only once or twice a day I think, so you should check the schedule
		But since the return is pretty infrequent it looks like one must prepare to spend at least an hour on San Lazzaro (no matter which boat is taken from San Zaccaria).
		Of course it'd have been nice for you to see the Eliasson installation, but I think that you probably spent your 2-3 hours better somewhere else (the vaporetto logistics for San Lazzaro are a bit complicated, as you read).

		We visit San Francesco del Deserto situated south of Burano - according to tradition its monastery surrounded by cypress trees was founded by Saint Francis of Assisi and the two small cloisters still house a community of Friars.
		The story goes that the saint passed through here on his way back from the middle east, as he approached the island a storm that was raging suddenly dropped and the birds began to sing!
		Then in our private motor launch we cruise on to San Lazzaro degli Armeni, which was used as a refuge for lepers during the 12th century.
