The painting "St. Francis receives the stigmata,"in the monastery church
Today, September 17, Franciscans and Traditional Roman Catholics celebrate a feast called The Impression of the Stigmata of St. Francis, Confessor.
My neighbors the Franciscan brothers are still licking their wounds after Saturday's fire inside the monastery grounds (as reported in my previous posts). I hope they can relax a bit today and enjoy the feast day in honor of their founder.

Very touching painting, Dina.
