The ancient woollen habit traditionally attributed to St. Francis of Assisi is displayed in an illuminated conservation case at the Sanctuary of La Verna, Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy, on April 9, 2026. The coarse dark-brown tunic with a separate pointed hood shows extensive deterioration, tears, and a large fragmentary void at the chest, consistent with centuries of handling and veneration. A black-and-white chessboard marble floor is partially visible surrounding the case. Preserved as a first-class Franciscan relic, the garment is among the most significant devotional objects at La Verna, where Francis spent extended periods of solitary prayer between 1213 and his death in 1226, including the retreat during which he received the stigmata.

A Renaissance fresco depicting the stigmatization of St. Francis of Assisi is seen in the covered loggia of the Sanctuary of La Verna, Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy, on April 9, 2026. The composition shows Francis kneeling in his brown Franciscan habit in a wooded landscape, arms raised in ecstasy, as a seraph -- a winged Christ-like figure radiating golden light -- descends from above, with five red rays connecting to the saint's hands, feet, and side. A second figure meditates in a rocky recess at right. Gilded Corinthian pilasters frame the scene, which commemorates the mystical event of September 14, 1224, that occurred on this mountain.

A turtle basks in the sunlight in a pond at the University of Dhaka in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on May 3, 2026. This species, known as the red-eared slider, prefers slow-moving freshwater habitats. It is considered one of the world's most invasive species, competing with native turtles for food and habitat, which can disrupt ecological balance. Originally native to North America, it has spread to many countries across Asia, including India and Bangladesh, as well as Europe and Africa, due to its popularity as a pet.
