 Saint Francis of Assisi (ItalianSan Francesco d'Assisi, born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, but nicknamed Francesco("the Frenchman") by his father, 1181/1182 – October 3, 1226) 
was an Italian Catholic friar and preacher. He founded the men's Order of Friars Minor, the women’s Order of St. Clare
and the Third Order of Saint Francis for men and women not able to live the lives of itinerant preachers followed by the early members of the Order of Friars Minor or the monastic lives of the Poor Clares. 
Though he was never ordained to the Catholic priesthood, Francis is one of the most venerated religious figures in history.

 The phrase Ex indumentis is Latin for "from the clothing", most commonly used when referring to 2nd Class holy relics of saints or blessed individuals

In proper ecclesiastical phraseology, ex indumentis should only be used when referring to an article or fragment of clothing that was owned or used by a saint (or similarly blessed individual.

In recent years, contemporary manufacturers of relic medals, holy plaques, saint statues and religious trinkets have begun to label their items as being ex indumentis even though they are not such; rather, they are merely pieces of cloth or canvas that have been touched to an actual relic of the saint, 
then stamped out en-masse to be attached to their souvenir medals or statues. As such, they are 3rd-class relics and not 2nd-class relics, as the phrase ex indumentis implies.
