The Italian friar who renounced his wealthy upbringing to embrace radical poverty, founding the Franciscan order and devoting himself to the poor, to preaching, and to the natural world. Remembered for his joy, humility, and love of all creation, expressed in his "Canticle of the Sun," he became one of the most beloved saints in Christian history.
