Description
One of my stops this week on my pursuit of color was a tiny chapel overlooking Stone Pond and Mount Monadnock in Marlborough, NH. What a truly peaceful and spiritual setting.
Above the entry there is a bass-relief of St Francis kneeling to bless a wolf. A child in a dress follows him followed by a lamb.
In "Stone Pond, A Personal History", the setting is described as “If there was ever a place for feeling Franciscan about brother sun, sister moon and fruit, herb and flower, I have never encountered one comparable to this …” So St. Francis and his animals greet you as you enter this chapel door over which he kneels to welcome you.
