The Cross That Spoke to Francis. Carry Its Message With You.

In the year 1205, a young man named Francis knelt before a painted crucifix in the crumbling chapel of San Damiano near Assisi, Italy — and heard the voice of Christ say: "Francis, go and repair my house, which as you see is falling into ruin." That moment changed Francis forever — and through him, it changed the world. The San Damiano Crucifix is one of the most iconic and beloved images in all of Christianity, a Byzantine-style cross that depicts not just the suffering of Christ, but His triumph, His glory, and the communion of saints gathered around Him.

This beautifully laminated Kilgarlin prayer card features the San Damiano Crucifix image on the front and a powerful prayer on the back, finished with gold color accents. Carry it as a reminder that Christ speaks — and that He calls each of us, just as He called Francis, to rebuild, to restore, and to love.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the San Damiano Crucifix?
The San Damiano Crucifix is a 12th-century painted cross that originally hung in the chapel of San Damiano near Assisi, Italy. It is a Byzantine-style icon that depicts Christ on the cross surrounded by figures from the Passion narrative and the saints. It is most famous for being the crucifix before which St. Francis of Assisi prayed when he heard Christ speak to him, calling him to rebuild the Church. The original is now venerated at the Basilica of St. Clare in Assisi.

Is this card appropriate for non-Franciscans?
Absolutely. The San Damiano Crucifix is beloved by Catholics of all spiritualities. Its rich imagery and the story of St. Francis make it a powerful card for anyone who loves the cross, the saints, or the call to rebuild and restore.

Yes! Cards are available in packs up to 100 for standard orders. For custom print orders, the minimum is 1,000 cards with approximately a 5-day turnaround — and you can order any quantity above that.
