Assisi Francis Liebig Receiving Stigmata
EDITORS COMMENTS
Francis of Assisi, the Italian saint and founder of the Franciscan Order, is depicted in this evocative image as he receives the stigmata, the mysterious and painful wounds corresponding to the crucifixion injuries of Christ. The event is believed to have occurred on September 14, 1224, during a prayer session in which Francis experienced a profound spiritual transformation. The image, created by the renowned German engraver Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne after a painting by the German artist Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin, dates back to the late 18th century. It captures the intensity and otherworldly quality of the moment as Francis, with eyes closed and hands raised in supplication, feels the piercing of the nails and the thorns on his hands, feet, and side. The serene expression on his face reveals the deep peace and acceptance that comes from a profound communion with the divine. The legend of Francis of Assisi and the stigmata is a powerful testament to the depths of human spirituality and the transformative power of faith. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and devotion that characterized the life of this remarkable man, who renounced worldly possessions and embraced a life of poverty, simplicity, and service to others. Francis of Assisi's legacy continues to inspire millions around the world, and this image offers a glimpse into the mystical and transcendent experiences that shaped his life and the history of the Catholic Church.
