Sankta Francisko de Asizo (1181/1182 - oktobro 3, 1226) estis katolika monaĥo, predikisto, kaj la fondinto de la Franciskana Ordeno. Naskita en riĉa familio, Francisko rezignis pri sia riĉaĵo kaj ampleksis vivon de malriĉeco kaj servo. Li estas konata pro sia forta spirita sindonemo kaj lia ikoneca blanka kutimo, same kiel liaj multaj grandaj verkoj de bonfarado.

==== Vivo ====

En la aĝo de 20, Francisko aliĝis al armea ekskurso kontraŭ Peruĝo kaj estis kaptita. Post lia liberigo, li revenis al Asizo kaj havis spiritan vekiĝon. Li komencis vivi vivon de malriĉeco, ĉasteco kaj obeemo, kaj dediĉis sin al Dio.

Francisko fondis la Franciskanan Ordenon en 1209. La ordo estis devontigita al vivo de malriĉeco kaj servo al la senhavuloj. Francisko predikis la evangelion ĉie en Italio kaj Francio, kaj eĉ enriskiĝis al Egiptujo en provo konverti la sultanon.

En 1219, Francisko ricevis la stigmatojn, la vundojn de Kristo. Li mortis la 3-an de oktobro 1226, kaj estis enkanonigita kiel sanktulo en 1228 fare de papo Gregorio la 9-a.

==== Heredaĵo ====

Sankta Francisko el Asizo estas memorita kiel granda spirita gvidanto kaj ĉampiono de la senhavuloj. Li estis rekomendanto de paco kaj repaciĝo kaj estis konata pro sia profunda sindonemo al dio kaj al sia kunhomo.

Hodiaŭ, Francisko estas la patrono de la medio kaj de Italio. Lia ikoneca blanka kutimo estas vaste rekonita tra la mondo, kaj lia ekzemplo de servo kaj humileco daŭre estas admirita hodiaŭ.
