ST FRANCIS BLESSING: ON BACK (In Latin) Translated (English) “May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He show His face to you and be merciful to you. May He turn His countenance to you and give you peace. The Lord bless you”. [originally addressed to Brother Leo]

ST FRANCIS’ SIGNATURE: Back shows the blessing with the Tau cross that was Francis’ signature. Note the base of the ‘Tau’ cross comes out of an irregular rectangle which represents the grave of Adam. You can see the skull inside of the grave. Again, this was the traditional signature of Francis as it was the ancient belief that Christ was crucified over the ancient grave of Adam/ It symbolizes Christ’s victory over death.
