EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1918, captures the breathtaking beauty and historical significance of the Lower Church of St. Francis in Assisi, Italy. The Papal Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, a mother church of the Roman Catholic Order of Friars Minor, is one of the most important places of Christian pilgrimage in Italy. Dating back to 1228, the basilica is built into the side of a hill and consists of two churches, the Upper Church and the Lower Church, as well as a crypt where the remains of St. Francis are buried. The Lower Church, depicted in this image, is a marvel of medieval architecture. Its construction began in the early 13th century, and its walls are adorned with intricate frescoes and bas-reliefs that tell the story of St. Francis' life and teachings. The church's simple, austere design reflects the Franciscan values of poverty, humility, and devotion to nature. The Basilica of St. Francis has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000, and it continues to be a source of inspiration and wonder for millions of visitors each year. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and enduring spiritual significance of this remarkable place.
