Francis of Assisi (Giovanni Francesco di Pietro Bernardone; 1181 or 1182-1226) was a Catholic saint, the founder of the mendicant order named after him — the Franciscan Order. It marks a turning point in the history of the ascetic ideal, a new era in the history of Western monasticism.

The main characteristic of Francis was a lively, responsive feeling of compassion, a loving sympathy that encompassed all nature, animate and inanimate.

The whole world, with all the living beings and elements in it, turned for Francis into a loving family, descended from one father and united in love for him.

All poor, seriously ill, and very suffering people pray to Saint Francis of Assisi. Very often, the prayer to St. Francis of Assisi is offered for protection and peace, as well as for strengthening the strength of the spirit during adversity and recovery from a serious illness.

This icon of the author's work was made by hand according to the modern original.
The basis of the icon is made of solid pine, on which the image is applied with a special technique.
I work with professional materials that are safe for health. These are acrylic paints and water-based varnish.

I don't mask the knots and cracks in the tree. On the contrary, I use and highlight them as an advantage of the beauty of nature!
