What Is the Story of St. Francis and the Wolf?
The Wolf of Gubbio was a wolf who, according to the Fioretti di San Francesco, terrorized the Umbrian city of Gubbio until he was tamed by St. Francis of Assisi acting on behalf of God.
Francis is one of the most revered religious figures in history. Pope Gregory IX sealed St. Francis on July 16, 1228. Together with St. Catherine of Siena, he was appointed patron saint of Italy. Later he became a patron of animals and the natural environment, and in the October 4 festival, the Catholic and Anglican churches held a ritual of blessing the animals.
What Symbols Represent Saint Francis?
Saint Francis of Assisi is commonly symbolized by several key icons: his simple brown or gray Franciscan habit, the stigmata (wounds resembling Christ’s crucifixion marks), and his association with animals, such as birds and wolves, reflecting his deep love for nature. Additionally, he is often depicted with a crucifix, and symbols of nature like flowers and trees represent his reverence for creation. These symbols collectively embody his message of humility, peace, and a profound connection with the natural world.
