Earth Day & St. Francis of Assisi Round Sticker

St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) wrote simply but eloquently about the relationships among God, nature, and humankind. For this reason, in 1979 Pope St. John Paul II named him “Patron Saint of Ecology”, making St. Francis a fitting icon for Earth Day. Earth Day is celebrated worldwide on April 22 each year. + Image Credit: Pastiche by Saints_Aplenty.
