From Conception Abbey
ST. FRANCIS ICON (small)


St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) is the founder of the Franciscan Order and one of the most famous and beloved saints of the Church. He renounced worldly wealth, preaching the importance of simplicity and poverty based on the ideals of the Gospel. He was known for his love of nature and animals, especially birds.

In this contemporary icon by Sr. Mary Charles McGough, OSB., St. Francis reveals the Stigmata while surrounded by the brilliance of the natural world – including beautifully rendered birds and flowers. Included pamphlet describes significant elements in the icon along with a short biography.

Mounted on 5/8" ProWood® Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) with a wood-look foil finish, with tee-slots milled in the back for easy hanging. 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"
