San Damiano

The San Damiano Cross is a large Romanesque rood cross that was painted by an unknown artist during the 11th century. The cross is famous because it is the cross that St. Francis of Assisi was praying before when the Lord called to him to rebuild the Church. The original cross hangs in the Basilica of Saint Clare in Italy, but reproductions may be found throughout the world. Franciscans honor the cross as a symbol of their mission from God. The cross tells the whole story of salvation, starting before creation with the hand of the Father and ending only with the ending of time and space.
