What constellation is Francis _ Who is Francis's predecessor?

San Francesco Cathedral is an important holy place for Catholicism in Italy, second only to St Peter's Cathedral in Vatican. San Francesco is the founder of Franciscans, born in 1 182. He is a rich, handsome and ambitious young man. But a serious illness at 120 1 changed everything about him and Christianity. Because the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ appeared many times during his illness, the young man turned his desire to follow the Crusades into his passion for the way Christ was born.

At that time, due to the decline of the Roman Empire, the church became the largest power center in Europe. The corruption brought by power gradually deviated Christianity from its original teachings, and the position of the church in social morality plummeted. It was in this situation that San Francesco embarked on the road of missionary work. In order to correct and reform the church atmosphere at that time, he began to create and strictly abide by the precepts of poverty and penance, imitated Jesus' practice of cutting through thorns and spreading teachings in poor material conditions, and tried to pull the misguided Christian church back to the right path in its initial stage. He had painstakingly begged for stones all over the city and restored two churches, St. Dominion's Church and St. Mary's Angel Church. His practice caused great repercussions, and the fanaticism of San Francesco Sect became a clear stream of Christianity since the Middle Ages, which made other reformers follow suit. Later St. Dominic Sect, St. Benedict Sect, etc. Have gradually improved Christianity. Because of this, San Francesco has a very important position in the history of Christian development. In many religious paintings, San Francesco wore a brown robe with a white cotton rope tied around his waist, a Mediterranean-style bald head, a thin face with a compassionate look, and signs similar to the crucifixion on on his palms, soles of his feet and his chest, so he was one of the necessary figures to accompany Jesus or the Virgin Mary.

1On Saturday night of October 3rd, San Francesco died of illness. On his deathbed, he took off his robe and lay naked on the ground, wearing only borrowed clothes, indicating that he had cut off the last contact with the world. The next day, people marched with his body and buried him in St. George's Church. 1228, Pope Gregory IX canonized him in St. George's Church, and laid the foundation stone for the present San Francesco Church. Two years later, San Francesco's body was secretly buried in the basement of this humble church. This is the "Hell Mountain" outside assisi, and he humbly asked to be buried after his death.
