St. Francis Wall Crucifixes |
| The San Damiano Cross is a painting containing images of Christ's passion, death, resurrection and ascension into glory. Its thematic colors are red and black. Red, the color of Christ's blood which he shed for us, symbolizes God's love. Black is the color of death. The San Damiano Cross is quite suitable as an aid to meditative prayer. As an icon of the paschal mystery of Christ, a visual reminder of the tenets of our faith, it has the power to reinforce our faith and thus help repair God's Church today, as Saint Francis did centuries ago.
