Many of the stories that surround the life of St Francis deal with his love for animals. Perhaps the most famous incident that illustrates the Saint’s humility towards nature is recounted in the ’Fioretti’ (The Little Flowers), a collection of legends and folk-lore that sprang up after the saint’s death. It is said that one day while Francis was traveling with some companions they happened upon a place in the road where birds filled the trees on either side. Francis told his companions to "wait for me while I go to preach to my sisters the birds." The birds surrounded him, drawn by the power of his voice, and not one of them flew away.Michael LeClair created an absolutely beautiful portrait for the cross stitch enthusiast of Saint Francis and his animal friends gathering in a forest clearing. This rare vintage design is sure to be a highlight in anyone’s home.  This piece arrived in overly shopworn packaging which has been replaced to keep clean and ready to work. Absolutely lovely.
