St. Clare, the greatest woman saint of the Franciscans, is represented in art as holding a ciborium in memory of the night in 1224 when she put the attacking Saracens of Frederick II to flight by raising the ciborium on high before them. St. Clare died in 1258 as the passion of our Lord was being read, Our Lady and the angels conducting her soul to glory.
