Church of San Damiano
The Church of San Damiano is an important Catholic place of worship in Assisi, located on the southern outskirts of the city.
The first biographer of St. Francis, Tommaso da Celano, in his Vita prima, narrates that in 1205, after wandering in the countryside, St. Francis of Assisi enters the church of San Damiano, in the countryside of Assisi.
The crucifix has a very particular aspect: Christ on the cross does not show suffering, but seems to almost stand up to communicate a message of hope with open arms.
Between 1211 and 1212 Santa Chiara, following a prophecy of San Francesco, founded an order of cloistered members who resided there until 1260.
