EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Honored Farewell: St. Clare and the Pious Ladies Pay Their Respects to the Body of St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226)" 2. Description: This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the life of St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226), the revered Italian saint and founder of the Franciscan Order. As his body is being transported for burial, it is halted at the Portiuncula Church of St. Damian in Assisi, where St. Clare and a group of devout women come to pay their respects. 3. Background: St. Francis, known for his deep devotion to God and his commitment to living a simple, poverty-embracing life, had passed away on October 3, 1226. His body was being carried to the Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi for interment when it was stopped at St. Damian's, a place of great significance to both Francis and Clare. 4. Significance: St. Clare, the founder of the Poor Clares, had been a close companion and confidante of St. Francis. She had lived with him for several years and was instrumental in spreading his message of poverty and devotion. The image of the saintly women, led by St. Clare, paying their respects to the body of St. Francis underscores the deep connection between the two founders and their shared commitment to a life of faith and service. 5. Historical Context: The scene depicted in the image is believed to have taken place around 1226, shortly after St. Francis' death. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact that St. Francis had on the lives of those around him and the enduring legacy of his teachings. 6. Conclusion: This powerful image offers a glimpse into the rich history of St. Francis of Assisi and the deep reverence in which he was held by his followers. The moment of respect and homage paid by St. Clare and the pious ladies serves as a testament to the enduring influence of St. Francis and the profound impact of his message on the lives of those who embraced it.
