This statue of Saint Francis is at the Mission Santa Barbara.
Compare the face on the statue to Francis' photo above.
The statue is in the private garden not accessible to tourists,
but Paul Nefstead managed to convince them that the photo was for a good cause.

SAINT FRANCIS receiving the stygmata
presented in affection and admiration to
the Franciscan Fathers of the Old Mission
by the sculptor and his wife
and received with grace, July, 1967

Francis sculpted another statue of Saint Francis.
It looks so much like the other one that I wonder if was cast from the same mold.
This one was created for the Sacred Heart of Christ the King Convent,
in Sycamore Canyon, Montecito, California.
The convent was closed in the mid 1970's and the statue was moved
to the Saint Francis Medical Center in Santa Barbara,
where Paul Nefstead took this photo.
In June of 2003 it was trucked to the mother house of the
Franciscan nuns at Frankfort, Illinois.

SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI
Receiving the Stigmata
