St. Francis in the Way of St. James
The world view of the final centuries of the Middle Ages will leave to the future a synthetic image , powerful and impressive of St. Francis of Assisi as an intermediary , a lawyer of the soul of the faithful departed . Iconography product of beliefs and tender devotion towards the figure of the poor , transformed into an alter Christus , the mercy of mystical ecstasy of stigma .
His prayerful position in the scene of Calvary, explaining the facades of certain churches of the Order , was completed in an eloquent manner with the scenes of the popular Petos de Ánimas ( typical shrines of Galicia ) , made by the sculptors of the country in subsequent periods. The new apostle who was a pilgrim, with the example of his life dedicated to the search for peace and harmony , became the source of eternal life.
