EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures the moment when Saint Clare of Assisi, the founding mother of the Poor Clares, blessed the convent bread before partaking in a meal around the year 1250 in Assisi, Italy. The photograph, taken from an original artwork, depicts Saint Clare raising her hands in prayer as a cross-like imprint miraculously appears on the rolls, reminiscent of hot cross buns. Saint Clare, known for her deep spiritual connection and piety, was renowned for her miraculous abilities. According to legend, the bread was baked and set aside for the sisters before the blessing. As Saint Clare prayed over the rolls, a cross formed on their surface, a divine sign of God's blessing. This miraculous event has been passed down through generations, inspiring awe and wonder among the faithful. The image of the cross on the rolls serves as a reminder of the divine presence in everyday life and the transformative power of faith and prayer. The Poor Clares, also known as the Second Order of Saint Francis, were founded by Saint Clare in 1212 and continue to live a simple, contemplative life dedicated to prayer and service to the poor. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and spirituality of the Poor Clares and the enduring legacy of Saint Clare.
