DESCRIPTION:Dear body freedom supporters,\n\nlet's celebrate the 238 anniversary of San 
 Francisco by honoring Saint Francis -\n\nTHURSDAY, JUN 26TH @ 12 NOON @ 
 International Shrine of St Francis at 610 Vallejo St, SF\n\nSan Francisco 
 was named after Saint Francis who was a Catholic preacher and a noted 
 nudist. Body freedom is our birth right!\n\nJoin us for a body freedom 
 parade and rally to commemorate Saint Francis on the 238th anniversary of 
 San Francisco.\n\nWalk down Vallejo Street to the International Shrine of 
 Saint Francis of Assisi at 610 Vallejo from the dead end of Vallejo St 
 between Kearny and Montgomery St\n\n\nBody freedom activists will stage 
 Saint Francis Parade on San Francisco’s 238th anniversary in front of the 
 National Shrine of Saint Francis whom San Francisco was named 
 after.\n\nSaint Francis was an Italian Catholic preacher and one of the 
 most respected religious figures in history.\nHe renounced possessions, and 
 rebuilt small churches.\n\n“I shall go naked to meet my naked 
 Lord.”\n\nThese were the words St Francis of Assisi addressed to his 
 father in one of the most well-known scenes from his life.\n\nFrancis had 
 taken some of his merchant father's finest materials to raise funds to 
 rebuild the Church of St Damian. For this act his father brought him before 
 the court. The trial took place before the bishop and his court in the 
 presence of merchants and townspeople.\n\nIn response to the charges laid 
 against him, Francis proclaimed: “I return not only my money, but also my 
 clothes. I shall go naked to meet my naked Lord.” At which he stripped 
 off all his clothes, threw them to his father and walked off naked.\n\nWhen 
 he preached in the nude, the townspeople in Assisi first laughed at him  
 but then were won over by his words.\n\nThe San Francisco nudity ban is a 
 shameful act of outrageous hypocrisy especially in light of our cultural 
 and spiritual history. We will be marching naked in solidarity with the 
 holy man who was such a beacon of inspiration to our people that our city 
 was name after him. Saint Francis was a nudist in the 12th century. It’s 
 time that our society catch up with his ideals and his vision.\n\n\n\n
