Little Drops of Water Plush: St. Francis of Assisi, 8"

SAINT FRANCIS

Saint Francis was born around 1181 in Assisi, Italy, to a wealthy merchant family. After a youth of privilege and a transformative experience during illness, Francis renounced his inheritance to embrace radical poverty and service to the poor. He founded the Franciscan Order, rebuilt crumbling churches, and preached to all of creation — including, famously, the birds. Francis received the stigmata in 1224 and died in 1226, having transformed the Church through his joyful witness to the Gospel.

Saint Francis teaches us the virtues of simplicity, humility, and care for all creation.

Feast Day: October 4 | Patron of Animals and Ecology

WHAT MAKES HIM SPECIAL

SAINT FRANCIS is hand-designed by Little Drops of Water and crafted in soft, cuddle-ready fabric. He wears the brown Franciscan habit tied with a knotted cord, a little bird nestled in his hands — the saint who preached to the creatures of the air. At about 8 inches tall, he is sized to be carried through the day, tucked into bed at night, and hugged as often as a child likes.

Every Catholic Plush Doll from Little Drops of Water is hand-designed and made to be loved — soft to hold, with embroidered features and no hard pieces, so a child’s first encounter with a saint is something gentle, huggable, and entirely their own.
