1182 1226 Approval Assisi Francis Innocent Order Papal Pope


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the pivotal moment in the history of the Franciscan Order, as Saint Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) receives the papal approval of his new religious community from Pope Innocent III (1198-1216) in the late 13th century. The scene unfolds in the hallowed halls of the papal court, where the humble Francis, dressed in his simple brown habit, kneels before the pope, who is seated on his ornate throne. The pope, with a look of benevolence and approval, places the papal bull, the official document granting approval to the Order, into the hands of Francis. The Franciscan Order, founded in 1209, was unique in its emphasis on living in poverty, following the example of Christ and St. Francis. The Order's radical approach to religious life, which included preaching to the poor and caring for the sick and the lepers, was initially met with skepticism and resistance from the Church hierarchy. However, with the support of influential figures like Pope Innocent III, the Order began to gain acceptance and spread throughout Europe. This photograph, taken from a historical print by Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Franciscan Order and the pivotal role played by Saint Francis and Pope Innocent III in its founding. The image captures the essence of the spiritual connection between the two men, as well as the broader historical context of the 13th century Church and its evolving relationship with new religious movements.
