This could well be one of the most beautiful St. Francis motivational pins you ever see. Zurbara's masterpiece has been digitized onto a cabochon. Glowing through the image is the mother-or-pearl glazed, cameostone, luminous with an opal sheen when caught in the light, yet it keeps the humble look which is only fitting to honor the Catholic saint in this religious jewelry.

The cameostone is encircled with copper ball chain. Dangling from an antique copper colored filigree below are Czech crystals, gem stones of red flower jasper, Bali beads and a Celtic cross is featured in the center. Two amber hearts are symbols of this patron saint's loving heart. A 1 1/4" wide, silver-plated pin back makes attachment easy.

St. Francis of Assisi

Founder of the Franciscan Order, born at Assisi in Umbria, in 1182, died October 3, 1226. St. Francis was a lover of all creation, and made patron saint of animals and the environment. His feast day is October 4.

In fine art he is depicted wearing a homespun robe, tied round his waist with a thrice-knotted cord, which evoke the three vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.

This brooch is an adaptation of Francisco de Zubar's "St Francis in Meditation" painted in the mid 1600's in Madrid, Spain.

To read stories about him and the animals go to Stories of Saint Francis . Read the prayer of St. Francis below.

PRAYER OF SAINT FRANCIS of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen
