Franciscan Cincture now available through Monastery Greetings

 

The Cincture, or White Cord, is a sign of chastity, and has been since the Church's beginning -- and before. Old Testament priests wore cinctures, Consecrated Virgins and religious wear cinctures, and the wearing of cinctures in honor of a particular saint is ancient, first spoken of in the life of St. Monica, the mother of St. Augustine, and carried on by St. Dominic, who wore the cincture in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. Certain Confraternities and Archconfraternities (groups of faithful to a religious cause) also wear cinctures as signs of their affiliation and chastity. Franciscans wear a White Cincture called a 'Cintura Bianca' (pronounced Chin-Torah-Bee-Anka) which translated means 'White Rope.' The three knots on the Franciscan Cincture represent Poverty, Chatity and Obedience, the three Conerstones of the Franciscan Order.

St. Dominic once asked St. Francis of Assisi for his White Cord he wore over his tunic. Dominic, the Founder of the Dominican Order,  wore this White Cord under his habit for the remainder of his life in honor of St. Francis, whom he so greatly admired and respected. This White Cord can be worn inside trousers or under a dress without anyone having knowledge that you are doing so.

The Cord of St. Francis


Walfred, who lived in Cita' della Pieve, a devout and God-fearing man, as was his household, had a cord with which the blessed Francis had been girded at one time. It happened that in this place many men and women were afflicted with various illnesses and fevers. This man, after dipping the cord in water or mixing some strands of the cord in the water, would give the water to the sick to drink; and thus all of them were healed in Christ's name. These thing took place in the absence of Blessed Francis, and many more things happened too which we could not tell adaquately even at great length.
