Francis of Assisi, originally Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone (Italian: Francesco d’Assisi; Latin: Franciscus Assisiensis), was born in 1181 or 1182 and passed away on 3 October 1226. He was an Italian Catholic friar, deacon, and mystic who founded the Order of Friars Minor for men, the Order of St. Clare for women, the Third Order of St. Francis, and the Custody of the Holy Land. Francis is one of the most revered religious figures in Christianity.

Pope Gregory IX canonized him on 16 July 1228, and he was later named a patron saint of Italy, alongside Catherine of Siena. Over time, he became closely associated with the patronage of animals and the natural world. As a result, it became customary for churches to hold animal blessing ceremonies on his feast day, 4 October. In 1219, he traveled to Egypt in an effort to convert Sultan al-Kamil and end the conflict of the Fifth Crusade. After receiving papal authorization, he increasingly withdrew from worldly matters.

Known for his deep love of the Eucharist, Francis is also credited with creating the first live nativity scene in 1223. According to Christian tradition, in 1224, he received the stigmata after an apparition of a Seraphic angel during a religious ecstasy.
