An international observance focused on animals, care, welfare, and the human bond with other living creatures.
A day for knowing where things are kept, why nobody can find the tape, and how a home quietly teaches its own geography.
The feast of Saint Francis of Assisi is observed at the Chapelle Sainte-Dévote and the Convent of the Franciscan Sisters in Monaco. Saint Francis is the patron saint of ecology, and the celebration has taken on a new significance under Prince Albert II, who has made environmental protection the defining cause of his reign. The Prince Albert II Foundation, founded in 2006, funds projects in climate change, biodiversity, and water resources, and the Prince has traveled to both poles to draw attention to the climate crisis. The Fête de Saint François is a quiet, contemplative day : a reminder that even in a principality built on wealth and luxury, there is room for humility and care for creation.
A day for checking the remote, the toy, the flashlight, the clock, and the one drawer everyone opens first.
A day for the drawer that has three almost-right screws, old batteries, tape, string, and the answer to a small emergency.
