Saint Francis: The Lord's Bard

According to the "Italian-Chinese Dictionary", giullare has two interpretations: one is a bard, and the other is a [relegated] river and lake artist, a clown.

The English translation of flowers is based on the original book "I fioretti di San Francesco", which is the basis for the film. However, the literal translation of fioretti as flowers is quite absurd. According to the "Italian-Chinese Dictionary", fioretto is different from fiore (flower), and has five meanings such as small flower, essence, [Zong] asceticism, and embellishment.

Because of the position, it is almost as close to the translation as "The Travels of St. Francis".
The Franciscan order is one of the four major religious orders, and the "Holy" name cannot be omitted.

"I fioretti di San Francesco" consists of 53 articles, the first of which blatantly states: When St. Francis and his companions started their career, there were 13 people, just as Christ Jesus and his 12 disciples were together. At this point in my reading, I suddenly remembered the beginning of the establishment of our party. There were also 13 people, who were delighted and praised.

Our ancestors said: Five hundred years after Mencius gave birth to Confucius, he wanted to learn from Confucius, and he is still known as Confucius and Mencius. After the birth of Jesus Christ in 1182, St. Francis wanted to learn from Jesus, but no one has called him the same as Jesus. what? One is not the blood of King David, the second is not the incarnation of the Holy Spirit, and the third is not the conception of a virgin. However, its miracles are similar to those of Jesus and even more than those of Jesus: those

similar to Jesus are five wounds. Jesus was crucified, with four wounds on his hands and feet, and one wound on his side by a Roman soldier. St. Francis was not crucified, but was wounded five times in his later years. The world thinks it a miracle. However, since then, the cottage has continued, the furthest from the United States, the most recent is an Italian priest 20 years ago, but the people of the Holy See are tired of aesthetics.

Those who are more than Jesus, preach to birds. According to the "Exercise", Saint Francis preached to the flock of birds. After the training, the birds flew together in the air, neither lining up the character "person" nor the character "one", but the character "ten". How great, how beautiful, all the glory that Jesus did not do, all the glory belongs to the Lord.
