Convent Of St. Francis, Valladolid
The Convent of St. Francis (Spanish: ''Convento de San Francisco''), in Valladolid, Spain, was founded in the 13th century and located outside the city walls, in front of the market square (which would become the future ''Plaza Mayor''). The convent was protected and sponsored in that century by Doña Violante, wife of King Alfonso X of Castile ('Alfonso the Wise'). Its existence had a great impact on the social and religious life of Valladolid, extending its life until 1836, when it was demolished and its huge plot of land was divided up and put up for sale. From that date, it became part of the lost patrimony of Valladolid. Christopher Columbus died in Valladolid in May 1506 and was buried in the church of this Franciscan convent, although it is still not known in which house or hospital exactly he died. During the commemoration of the 5th centenary of his death, the City Council of Valladolid placed a plaque in his memory on the site of the Convent of St. Francis.In 1513, Fer ...

Charterhouse (monastery)
A charterhouse (french: chartreuse; german: Kartause; it, certosa; pt, cartuxa; es, cartuja) is a monastery of Carthusian monks. The English word is derived by phono-semantic matching from the French word ''chartreuse'' and it is therefore sometimes misunderstood to indicate that the houses were created by charter, a grant of legal rights by a high authority. The actual namesake is instead the first monastery of the order, the Grande Chartreuse, which St Bruno of Cologne established in a valley of the Chartreuse Mountains in 1084. The London Charterhouse was the first English site to which this English version of the word was applied.

Francis Of Assisi
Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, better known as Saint Francis of Assisi ( it, Francesco d'Assisi; – 3 October 1226), was a mystic Italian Catholic friar, founder of the Franciscans, and one of the most venerated figures in Christianity. He was inspired to lead a life of poverty and itinerant preaching. Pope Gregory IX canonized him on 16 July 1228. He is usually depicted in a robe with a rope as belt. In 1219, he went to Egypt in an attempt to convert the sultan al-Kamil and put an end to the conflict of the Fifth Crusade. In 1223, he arranged for the first Christmas live nativity scene. According to Christian tradition, in 1224 he received the stigmata during the apparition of a Seraphic angel in a religious ecstasy. He founded the men's Order of Friars Minor, the women's Order of St. Clare, the Third Order of St. Francis and the Custody of the Holy Land. Once his community was authorized by the Pope, he withdrew increasingly from external affairs. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
