Quae Francisci cor
Vintage illustration with the inscription:
Kunst-Adelt, Maastricht (Holland) / Quae Francisci Cor / Attrahit...
Translated from latin: which attracts the heart of Francis, increasing his charisma
Off Stigm S. Franc. Print in Holland
These phrasesd proceed from the antiphona:
Crucis apparet hostia,
tensis in cruce brachiis,
sex alis tecta variis
cum vultus elegantia :
quae Francisci cor attrahit,
augens ei charismata,
suaque sacra stigmata
in eius carnem protrahit
Which can be read at the Liturgic Book: Cantuale romano-seraphicum , 1951 p.163
The translation from latin is:
The victim appears on the cross
arms crossed
six wings with various roofs
with elegance of appearance :
which attracts the heart of Francis
increasing his charisma
and his sacred stigmata
it extends into his flesh.
