#atelierLeda's Medallion Necklace Collection ✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼ This is a St. Clare of Assisi medallion necklace, depicting the patron saint of eyes, eye diseases, and goldsmiths, and the founder of the Order of Saint Clare. † St. Clare of Assisi † Clare was born in Assisi as the daughter of Favorino Sciffo, Count of Sasso-Rosso. In 1210, Clare heard Francis's sermon on the streets of Assisi. He was talking about the newly approved mendicant order, and Clare was moved by his words. On March 20, 1212, Clare's parents decided to marry their daughter to a wealthy man, so Clare ran away from home and sought the guidance of St. Francis, entered religious life, and lived in the Church of San Damiano. As a sign of accepting the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, she cut her hair short and wore a simple tunic, and her life was a daily routine of prayer and labor. Clare received the help and encouragement of Francis, whom she also regarded as her spiritual father, and played an important role in the religious order. And Clare took care of him when he was ill until Francis died in 1226. After the death of Francis, Clare continued to help the growth of the religious order, and continued to play her role despite her long-term poor health until her death. Clare's loyalty to St. Francis was so deep that she was called "another Francis" (alter Franciscus). On August 9, 1253, Innocent IV approved the Rule of Clare, and two days later, on August 11, Clare passed away at the age of 59. Lived: 1194-1253 Patronage: Eyes, eye diseases, goldsmiths, embroiderers, weather, television, telephone This medallion depicts Clare holding a monstrance or ciborium. This commemorates the anecdote of how she averted the attackers who were at the gate of the monastery by displaying the sacrament over the wall. ✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼ 《Medallion》 St. Clare of Assisi 12 x 15mm 《Cross》 Jesus Christ 10 x 12mm 《Size》 40cm + 5cm adjuster
