This is a celebration of the life of St. Francis, great lover of God, man, and nature. Extracts from his writings and from biographies of the saint are selected by Sister Nan, a member of the community of St. Francis in London. The book is illustrated with stunning details and images from the frescos in the Basilica at Assisi!
A legend in his own lifetime, Francis was canonized in 1226. Within two years of his death, work began on the great Basilica that bears his name. Two churches, one built on top of the other and set into the rocky hillside at Assisi, were decorated with some of the most important and beautiful frescoes in Europe.
Includes an introduction to the life of St. Francis by Father Maximilian Mizzi, OFM Conv., Director of the Franciscan International Centre for Ecumenism in Assisi is an inspiration to readers.
