St. Dominic 18" Founder of the Dominican Religious Order

- Founder of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans).

- Patron of astronomers, scientists, falsely accused.

- Feast Day: August 8th.


This 18" statue features a handsome hand painted face and details such as tonsure, painted fingernails and eyelashes, hand-made tiny rosary hanging from his belt, dog at his feet and golden halo with gold star over his head. We will also make a removable black cloth cloak for your St. Dominic statue.


Saint Dominic is often depicted with a dog carrying a torch in its mouth because of a dream his mother had before his birth. Before Dominic was born, his mother, Blessed Joan of Aza, had a dream that she gave birth to a dog with a flaming torch in its mouth. The dream foretold the birth of Dominic and his order, the Order of Preachers (Dominicans). The star represents the light that appeared over Dominic's head during his baptism. Dominic was one of the first people to prioritize preaching to non-Catholics.


All our statues are handmade in the USA and made to order. Please allow 2-5 weeks.
