Description
Introduction [1] Images of St. Francis of Assisi are some of the most popular in all of Christian iconography, a testament to the power of the povarello's character and vision. Like Mother Theresa, his self-inflicted poverty and care for outcasts makes him naturally respectable but add to this the miracles associated with him, particularly the stigmata, marking him as especially holy, along with a penchant for talking to animals and shaking hands with wolves and you have a fascinating figure indeed.
