In return the Bacci family was able to use the grounds for family burials. Bicci de Lorenzo was first commissioned to paint the frescoes. He became ill and died and the job was taken over by Piero della Francesca who finished the frescoes in 1466. The Legend of the True Cross is also part of the Golden Legend.

The Conventual Franciscans spread the ideals of St. Francis throughout the urban social order of the Middle Ages. Before we speak of the Franciscan values and traditions, St. Francis of Assisi created these orders, values, and traditions. Who is he? Francis of Assisi is best known for the Christian saints after the Apostles. He was born in 1181 in Central Italy and was the son of Pietro di Bernadone whom was married to a French woman, Pica.
I think people were drawn to his beliefs because they were simple and he offered a pure translation of Christianity. Ignatius of Loyola was the influential leader of the Counter Reformation, and founded the Jesuits (the Society of Jesus). Born in Spain in 1491, to a noble wealthy family, he was educated as a knight, later joining the army. Wounded in May of 1521 while fighting the French, he underwent a spiritual conversion during recovery. In 1522 he went to the Shrine of Our Lady at Montserrat in Aragon and became a hermit, devoting hours each day to the prayer and tending to the sick and poor.
The walls measure 60 feet wide and 36 feet high. The dome and the outer walls contain many windows. Completed in 691 CE. The dome is in the shape of a Byzantine martyrium-a structure intended for the housing and veneration of saintly relics, a prime example of middle Byzantine architecture. The Church of San Vitale is a church located in Ravenna, Italy, and is an example of early Christian Byzantine Art and architecture in Western Europe.
LOCATION In 1495, Leonardo Da Vinci began painting the Last Supper on the wall of the refectory (dining hall) of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy, and completed it in 1498. Leonardo was commissioned to execute the painting in the Dominican monastery of this Church by Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza. The church and friary found an ambitious patron in Ludovico Sforza. The Duke wanted to give visible expression to his position in both impressive buildings like the grand Church and grandiose paintings like the Last Supper. Therefore, Santa Maria delle Grazie became the court church, burial place for members of the Ducal family, and home to Leonardo's famous painting.
The artist Giuseppe Archimboldo was an Italian painter who started out working for the office of the Fabbrica in the Duomo. Archimboldo was commissioned to do stained glass window designs which included the Stories of St. Catherine of Alexandria vitrage at the Duomo. He also worked on frescoes for the Cathedral of Monza. In 1558, Archimboldo drew the cartoon for a large tapestry of the Dormination of the Virgin Mary, which is still hanging in the Como Cathedral today (Giuseppe Archimboldo biography, 2013). Giuseppe Archimboldo was considered a mannerist artist who worked in the sixteenth century.

(3) Nicola Salvi was born Aug. 6, 1697, in Rome. He was an Italian sculptor and architect most famous for the Trevi fountain.

There is much talk, today, in Catholic circles about all sorts of material realities, natural and manufactured, animate and inanimate, being “sacraments”, or at least “sacramental”. Some theologians speak of this in terms of the “principle of sacramentality” and/or the “sacramental imagination”. Sacramentality is the principle that God uses visible signs to convey His grace, which cannot be seen. This is why Catholics believe that the waters of Baptism washes away sin, the oil used in the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick strengthens us, and the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. In Daniel Ladinsky’s poem, the squirrel suggests that “some acorns, an owl feather, and a ribbon” can “be sacraments” or “sacramental”.
