Bible Question (short): Why is there a skull next to St.Francis? |
Question (full): I know this may sound weird. I was in Church, for the Christmas Mass, and my Son and I noticed the Statue of St.Francis. It was him in a brown robe and beside his feet was a human skull. My question is does anybody know why there is a skull next to his feet? Isn't St. Francis the patron saint of animals? I know this is a weird question but my son and I are just really curious and it's bothering me. Oh yes, and thank you to all and Merry Christmas! |
