Tour Scotland Photograph Video St Francis of Assisi Window Episcopal Church Stirling

Tour Scotland video of the St Francis of Assisi stained glass window in the Episcopal Church on ancestry visit to Stirling, Scotland. This window shows Francis preaching to the birds reflecting his affinity with the natural world.

Saint Francis of Assisi, born as Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, on 3 October 1226, was an Italian Roman Catholic friar and preacher. He founded the men's Order of Friars Minor, the women’s Order of Saint Clare, the Third Order of Saint Francis and the Custody of the Holy Land. Francis is one of the most venerated religious figures in history. St. Francis is honored in the Church of England, the Anglican Church of Canada, the Episcopal Church USA, the Old Catholic Churches, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and other churches and religious communities on October 4. The Evangelical Church in Germany, however, commemorates St. Francis' feast day on his death day, October 3.
