Feast of St. Dominic, August 8

Yes, that Dominic!

"The Singing Nun" was a Dominican nun who recorded "Dominique" to raise money for the order.

The original order founded by St. Dominic was the Order of Preachers and became known as the Dominicans after his death. St Dominic is the patron saint of astronomers - not because he had a telescope, but because when he was baptized his mother, Blessed Joan of Aza, saw a star on his chest.
