Note that the fellow on the left has a dog with a torch, one of the symbols of the Order’s founder. When she was pregnant, St Dominic’s mother, Bl. Joan of Aza, had a dream of a dog running with a torch in its mouth, the symbol of how her son’s preaching would spread like fire through the world; this also helped give rise to the famous pun “Domini canes - the hounds of the Lord.” I imagine that the mitred fellow with the book is St Albert.
And speaking of Dominicans, Fr Lew very kindly shared with us this wonderful photo which he took of a Eucharistic procession recently held at St Dominic’s Parish and Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary in the Haverstock Hill area of London. This was part of a Rosary Vigil on October 28, consisting of a Holy Hour punctuated with music, Scripture and reflections, followed by a Eucharistic Procession during which the Rosary was prayed, and the Akathist hymn was sung, and ending with Benediction and Dominican Compline.
