SAN
DAMIANO
This is one of the most famous crosses of Christendom. It was found
by St. Francis of Assissi in the chapel of San Damiano, not far from Assissi.
St. Francis repaired the chapel with his own hands, as it had fallen down almost
completely. The cross was broken into several pieces. When St. Francis saw the
broken cross, he wept, and began to repair it. Today the Chapel of San Damiano
is a place of pilgrimage for Christians of all kinds. St. Francis was the first
to see the beauty of God, in the sun was a brother, the moon, a sister.
