Discovered 1994 Apr. 3 by F. Borngen at Tautenburg.
Assisi is the birthplace of St. Franciscus (1181?-1226; St. Francis, originally Giovanni Bernardone). He founded the first begging order. The Franciscans are bound to serve and preach worldwide, living in poverty and penance. They wandered barefoot, clothed in a brown cowled habit and white cord.
