4 Oct is the feast of St Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan order. He's the patron saint of animals, the environment, and ecologists - so it's also #WorldAnimalDay.
🎨 #LuttrellPsalter f60v (East Anglia c.1325-35)

Illumination of St Francis, a monk in long brown robe with a knotted rope for a belt, standing with his hands up. There are wounds in his chest, hands & feet, reflecting those of Christ crucified, ('stigmata'). Another cowled human sits at his feet, looking away, while a lion sits peacefully on the right. They're under a tree with colourful leaves and five large birds, four of which are looking attentively at St Francis. The text above reads "Multa flagella peccatoris".
