Description
Saint Francis by Lynn Sprowl
I have this exact same statue in my backyard and another in my home.
On July 16, 1228, he was proclaimed a saint by Pope Gregory IX. He is known as the patron saint of animals and the environment, and is one of the two patron saints of Italy (with Catherine of Siena). It is customary for Catholic and Anglican churches to hold ceremonies blessing animals on his feast day of October 4. Francis is one of the most venerated religious figures in history. 1181/1182 � October 3, 1226
