statue of Francis of Assisi, Varaždin, Croatia - Kip franje asiškog, zaštitnik ekologa ; Franjo Asiški. Rođen 1182. u Asizu (Italija). Po naravi veseo i društven. Bio je iz bogate kuće. Otac mu je bio trgovac, a majka Francuskinja. Zanesen romantičnim željama pošao je u rat, kad se grad Asissi bio sukobio sa susjednim gradom Peruggiom. Tu je zarobljen, a kad se nakon godinu dana vratio, teško oboli. To ga je privelo razmišljanju i promjeni. Posvetio se molitvi i meditaciji. Ideal mu je postao što doslovniji život po evanđelju: u jednostavnosti, istinskom siromaštvu i slobodi duha. U početku mu se pridružilo 12 prijatelja koji se nazvaše 'manjom braćom'. Svojoj mladoj zajednici Franjo daje pravila koje papa Inocent III. usmeno odobrava. Dobili su i ovlast propovijedanja. Zajednica se ubrzo povećavala. Nastaje nova redovnička družba u Crkvi - franjevci. Franjin je pokret reformatorski. Svojim nastojanjem da doslovno nasljeduje Krista Franjo se ubraja među najveće svece. Njegov je utjecaj bio vrlo zamašan, a franjevački se red proširio cijelim svijetom. I danas je vrlo brojan. Franjo je umro je 3. listopada 1226., a u kalendaru se slavi 4. listopada. Ikongrafija ga prikazuje u franjevačkom habitu, s Kristovim ranama na rukama (stigmama), često okružena životinjama, napose pticama. Glavni je patron Italije. Francis of Assisi - statue of Francis of Assisi, Varaždin, Croatia - Kip franje asiškog, zaštitnik ekologa ; Franjo Asiški. Rođen 1182. u Asizu (Italija).
