The print includes a traditional image of St. Francis of Assisi, whose feast day is October 4, alongside the full text of his beloved Canticle of the Creatures—one of the earliest works of Italian sacred poetry.
Composed around 1224, the Canticle of the Creatures (also called the Canticle of Brother Sun) is considered the first known poem written in the Italian language. St. Francis wrote it near the end of his life while enduring great physical suffering. Despite his pain, the canticle radiates joy, praising God through the elements of creation—Brother Sun, Sister Moon, Brother Wind, Sister Water, and even Sister Death. It remains a timeless expression of humility, gratitude, and Franciscan spirituality.
