St. Francis, the patron saint of animals and the environment, can be seen as a proponent of the original Earth Day. Francis’ devotion to God expresses his love for all of God’s creation. The marble statue of St. Francis feeding the birds is one of the most famous Catholic statues.
St. Francis was poor, cared for the sick, preached to animals, and praised all things as brothers and sisters under God. Every year on October 4, many churches in the United States celebrate the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. The feast commemorates the life of St. Francis of Assisi, born in the twelfth century and the patron saint of animals and the environment in the Catholic Church. The marble St. Francis bird feeder statue was made for our UK client in July 2017.
On the feast day of St. Francis, many American children bring their pets to church to be blessed. The reason for this is that he loved animals, and this is shown in the symbolism of his work. St. Francis is the patron saint of animals, and many churches offer animal blessings.
Trevi Art Sculpture also made this sculpture with a love for animals in mind, and we hope you will enjoy it. We believe that the beginning of a sculpture will be an eternity of love.
