Monk's Habit Franziskus BrownThe Monk's Habit Franziskus is the replica of a religious habit of the mendicant friars from the 13th century. The so called \"lesser brothers\" were created by Francis of Assisi and had to commit themselves to chastity and renounce all worldly possessions. Originally, Francis of Assisi did not want to found a religious order but only to live a godly life following Christ. Don't worry, you can wear the habit even without vows of poverty and celibacy.
