San Damiano is a small church and convent located in Assisi, Italy, renowned for its significant role in the life of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Clare. The church is famous for the crucifix from which Saint Francis is believed to have heard the voice of Christ, instructing him to "rebuild my church." This event marked a pivotal moment in Francis's spiritual journey. Later, it became the home for Saint Clare and her followers, the Poor Clares, who lived there in strict poverty and simplicity.
