San Francisco was named after the most beloved of all Catholic saints - St. Francis of Assissi. Now, whenever I think of St. Francis, I think of Bambi and Thumper and all the cartoon birds and butterflies of the forest, because he’s known for his love of nature and all the living creatures of the earth.

A couple of years ago, I went to an art exhibit that featured some paintings from Caravaggio, and I got a new image of St. Francis, and strangely enough, this one matches my image of San Francisco. It’s called Saint Francis of Assissi in Ecstasy.

Don’t you love it?
