The Servant of God Juniper O.F.M. best known as Brother Juniper (Italian: Fra Ginepro) (died 1258) called the renowned jester of the Lord was one of the original followers of St. Francis of Assisi. Not much is known about Juniper before he joined the friars. In 1210 he was received into the Order of Friars Minor by St. Francis himself.
