      NOTE TO THE READER

      As you read the story of Saint Dominic and gaze at the pictures, look for his many attributes. In art, an attribute is a special characteristic or object that can help us identify who is in the picture. There are many little details that will help you find Saint Dominic, even if he is standing in a crowd of other Dominicans!

      •As a Dominican friar (the very first, in fact!) he wears a white habit, often with a black cloak called a cappa.

      •Dominicans are frequently depicted holding books, and Saint Dominic is no exception.

      •Because of a legend associated with his birth, he is often depicted with or represented by a dog holding a flaming torch in its mouth.

      •Because of another legend associated with Saint Dominic’s birth, he is often shown with a star on or above his forehead.

      •The Dominican cross is usually black and white with fleurs-de-lis at the ends.

      •There’s a special orange tree in our story—watch out for oranges and orange leaves!
