The disc that Francis holds high represents the sun with flaming solar flares. Cut out of the sun disc is the Christ figure, which illuminates Francis. The hands of Francis touch the wounded hands of Christ, gifting him with the stigmata. Dancing Francis invites all creation to dance with joy, in faith.
Dancing Francis, created by American sculptor Paul T. Granlund, is a gift in the jubilee year 2000 to the Franciscan Sisters of the Atonement from Viterbo University, La Crosse, La Crosse, United States of America.
