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.

These jewelry pieces are an adaptation of Francisco de Zubar's "St Francis in Meditation" painted in the mid 1600's in Madrid, Spain. To read stories about St. Francis of Assisi and the animals go to Stories of Saint Francis
