๐น Blessed Feast Day of Saint Maximilian Kolbe
๐นโChapel of St. Maximilian Kolbe - Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari - Venice Italyโโฆ As they were being marched away to the starvation bunkers, Number 16670 dared to step from the line. โI would like to take that manโs place. He has a wife and children.โ โWho are you?โ โA priest.โ No name, no mention of fame. Silence. The commandant, dumbfounded, perhaps with a fleeting thought of history, kicked Sergeant Francis Gajowniczek out of line and ordered Fr. Kolbe to go with the nine. In the โblock of death,โ they were ordered to strip naked, and their slow starvation began in darkness. But there was no screamingโthe prisoners sang. By the eve of the Assumption, four were left alive. The jailer came to finish Kolbe off as he sat in a corner praying. He lifted his fleshless arm to receive the bite from the deadly hypodermic needle. They burned his body with all the others. Fr. Kolbe was beatified in 1971 and canonized in 1982. Saint Maximilian Kolbe, was a Polish Catholic priest and Conventual Franciscan friar who volunteered to die in place of a stranger in the German death camp of Auschwitz, located in German-occupied Poland during World War II. He had been active in promoting the veneration of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, founding and supervising the monastery near Warsaw, operating an amateur radio station, and founding or running several other organizations and publications. Kolbe composed the Immaculata prayer as a prayer of consecration to the Immaculata.

El Greco, Saint John the Evangelist & Saint Francis, 1600, Oil on canvas, 110 x 86 cm, Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence.
Domeฬnikos Theotokoฬpoulos, 1541-1614, better known as El Greco, worked and lived most of his life in Venice, Rome and Toledo where he invented his own unique pictorial language. Influenced by the colors and brushwork of Venetian painters such as Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese, El Greco focused mainly on religious subjects. His portraits and a small number of landscapes and mythological works are equally impressive however. His works are often described as spiritual because of their expressive coloring, gestural brushwork and dramatic lighting. You can easily recognize his figures because of their elongated forms which associates him with the Mannerist style.
El Greco produced a large number of works depicting saints. Often alone and sometimes in pairs, the saints radiate devotion and strong emotions. In this work Saint Francis and Saint John the Evangelist are depicted together. Both are easily recognized through their attire and attributes. Saint Francis was the founder of the Franciscan order. He wears his brown habit and rope with three knots. Because of his piety and efforts to live according to the strict teachings of Christ he received the stigmata. He shows the wounds in his hands to Saint John. He is recognized through his symbol on the left, an eagle. The chalice with serpent or dragon is one of his attributes. It refers to the legend in which he was offered a poisoned cup of wine. After he blessed the drink the poison disappeared and he was able to drink the wine without doing him any harm. In art the poison is symbolized as a snake or a winged creature.
