# Francis of Assisi

> He gave up everything to live as a beggar, founded an order that still wears his brown rope-knotted habit, and claimed the wounds of Christ appeared on his own body in 1224. The mystic who tried to convert a sultan and staged the first live nativity is now the patron saint of Italy and animals alike.

*Italian Catholic saint, friar, deacon and preacher and founder of the Franciscan Order (1181/2-1226)*

## Bio

Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone was born around 1181 in Italy and turned his back on comfort to become an itinerant preacher living in total poverty. He founded the Franciscans, a religious order built on that same radical simplicity. In 1219 he walked into Egypt during the Fifth Crusade, trying to convert Sultan Al-Kamil and stop the war. Four years later he arranged the first live nativity scene in Greccio, reshaping how Christmas would be celebrated. In 1224, during a religious ecstasy, he reported stigmata - wounds matching Christ's crucifixion - appearing on his hands and feet. He died on 3 October 1226 and was canonized less than two years later, his name now tied to the city of San Francisco and to the worldwide blessing of animals every 4 October.
