Story & Symbolism:
St. Clare devoted herself to prayer since she was a small child. She heard St. Francis of Assisi preach during a Lenten service at the church of San Giorgio when she was 18 years old and requested him to assist her in living according to the Gospel. She left her father's home on Palm Sunday in 1212 and proceeded to the Porziuncula chapel to meet with Francis. Clare's hair was cut and she was given a plain robe and veil in place for her costly gown while she was there.
