Two years ago I found myself in the town of Assisi in Umbria, the birthplace of one of the most famous mystics and saints of the Middle Ages: Francis of Assisi. I had come to this town to learn more about the man, his legend, and his legacy; to study his memory as preserved by the artist Giotto in the Basilica di San Francesco's narration cycle, and to visit San Damiano, the church at which Francis received his calling from God.
