Scope and content
The sepia-coloured image shows a mural found at the Benedictine Abbey of Maredret in Belgium. This mural shows the saint St Clare of Assisi with the monstrance in her hand. In Christian iconography, the saint is always seen with a monstrance when in reality, the monstrance came only into use in the sixteenth century. Thus, when Assisi was under siege, St. Clare protected her monastery from the invaders by holding up the ciborium with the Blessed Sacrament. On the left hand side of this mural, there is a painting of the Basilica of St Mary of the Angels found just outside Assisi where St Francis died and on the right hand side, there is a painting of the convent of St Damian, where St Clare lived and died. This memento commemorates the solemn celebrations held at the Church of the Poor Clares' Monastery in St Julians on the seventh centenary from the death of their foundress, St Clare of Assisi.
