The Lamb Who Went To Mass

Once, at Santa Maria della Porziuncola, some people brought a lamb to St. Francis of Assisi as a gift. During the celebration of the Mass, the lamb would enter the church and, at the elevation of the Host, he would bow down, knees bent, as if in reverence towards the Blessed Sacrament.
