Saint Francis in ecstasy

Español

This vintage holy card depicts Saint Francis in ecstasy typically featuring the saint in a state of religious rapture, often accompanied by angelic figures or divine light. These cards are small, devotional pictures, often the size of a playing card, used by the faithful for prayer and reflection. 

This illustration may be based on famous artworks like Caravaggio's "Ecstasy of Saint Francis". The central figure is Saint Francis of Assisi, portrayed in a state of spiritual ecstasy. A radiant light proceeds from a winged fibure, symbolizing the divine presence of Jeus Christ.

The scene could is set in a natural environment, representing Mount Della Verna, where this episode took place. The back on holy cards may be blank, contain a prayer, or have text related to the saint.
