Saint Clare (07)

Here St. Clare is illustrated with a rich decorative border and the words ‘St. Clare’ above her, reinforcing her identity as one of the great Franciscan saints. She reverently holds the Eucharist in a monstrance, symbolizing her famous act of faith when she repelled invaders through prayer. This is an excellent page for explaining her feast day (August 11) and her legacy in the Franciscan order.
