St Francis of Assisi is one of the most venerated religious figures in history. Our St. Francis Bronze Resin statue is depicting St. Francis caring for animals, one of the things he is known for most. St Francis is the Patron Saint of animals, as well as the environment and one of the two patrons of Italy. Our St. Francis statue shows him with many different types of animals, from a dog and a squirrel at his feet to the bird he is holding in his hand, St. Francis cared for them all. This makes our St. Francis of Assisi statue the perfect gift to get for the animal lover on your list. St. Francis not only took care of the people around him but he looked for those that could not take care of themselves, specifically animals, and took it upon himself to make sure they were also cared for. The painted bronze resin finish gives an exquisite look to this skillfully crafted statue of St. Francis. It is hard to see his hands in the picture but St. Francis was the first to receive stigmata's, or the wounds of Christ, on his hands and feet.
