1182 1226 Assisi Clasping Crucified Depicted Francis Jesus
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the profound connection between Saint Francis of Assisi and the crucified Jesus, a relationship that defined the life and legacy of one of Christianity's most beloved saints. Born in Italy in 1182, Francis of Assisi lived a privileged life in his youth, but was moved by a vision of Christ urging him to rebuild the Church and live in poverty. He renounced his wealth and worldly possessions, donned a simple tunic, and devoted himself to caring for the sick, the poor, and the outcast. Francis' deep devotion to Jesus and his passion for spreading the message of God's love led him to have a unique and transformative encounter with the crucifix in the Church of San Damiano. The story goes that, while praying before the crucifix, Francis heard the voice of Christ speaking to him, urging him to rebuild His Church. Moved by this divine command, Francis set out on a mission to spread the Gospel, forming the Franciscan Order and inspiring countless others to follow in his footsteps. This powerful print depicts Saint Francis clasping the crucified Jesus, a visual representation of the deep spiritual bond between the two. The image, which dates from the period between 1182 and 1226, captures the essence of Francis' humility, devotion, and commitment to serving God and his fellow man. The intricate details of the woodcarving, the somber colors, and the intense expression on Francis' face all serve to transport the viewer to a time when faith and devotion were the guiding forces of people's lives. Saint Francis of Assisi's legacy continues to inspire and captivate people around the world, and this image serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith and the importance of serving others. Whether displayed in a place of worship, a home, or a workplace, this print is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and the deep connection between the faithful and their Savior.
