| The Roman Catholic Dominican Order of Preachers was founded in 1214 by Saint Dominic. Its aim was to fight against the heresies of the time by preaching, teaching, and the example of an austere lifestyle. The order still exists today. The Dominican monks shown here are singing hymns for Christmas. | ||||||
