Saint Francis
From Tonala Mexico Hand
carved and hand stained by a small
family in the out-skirts of Tonala. Saint
Francis is known for his love
of nature and of humanity, a love so great that he preached one
time to the sparrows at Alviano (he is often depicted in art preaching
to the birds). His spirit also breathes in the Cantico del sole
[hymn of the sun], which he may have written, and in the rules
for his orders.
