THE TAUThe Origins and Franciscan Tradition of the SymbolEurico Sciamanna. Translated by Catherine BoltonNEW. Imported from Italy. A definitive and comprehensive explanation of the TAU. Published by Casa Editrice Francesana, 2000, 53 pages, English language, Quality paper back, some illustrations. "The Tau was backed by solid Biblical Christian tradition when it was embraced by St. Francis in his spirituality. The saint adopted it intensely and completely, ultimately transforming himself through the Stigmata on his body, into the living Tau he had so often contemplated, written and, above all, worshipped. More than anything else, the Tau, the tangible sign of Christian devotion, is an existential commitment to follow Christ. This means that it must remind us of a great Christian axiom: it is fitting that, more and more each day, the life of humankind, saved and redeemed by the love of the crucified Christ, should be transformed into a new life, a life given for love. By wearing this sign, visibly in or within their hearts, the faithful live its spirituality and gives us reason to hope, so that we can acknowledge ourselves as followers of St. Francis." ..Enrico Sciammanna.
