DOMINICAN ORDER (Ordo Praedicatorum, O.P.)

Denomination : Roman Catholic

Established : 1216

Arms (crest) of the Dominican Order

Official blazon

Gyronny sable and argent, a cross flory quarterly of the second and first.

Origin/meaning

The Order bore originally a simple coat, Sable, a pile inverted argent. In this form the arms of the Order were used, in lieu of a personal device, by Pope Innocent V, Pierre de Taren¬taise, a Dominican friar, raised to the Papal throne in 1276. The same simple device appears on the great reliquary of Saint Dominic, by Jacopo Roseto, 1383, in the Bolognese church dedicated to the Saint.

The arms in their simplicity were intended to represent the black cloak (cappa nigra) worn by the friars over their white tunics when engaged in preaching.

Arms (crest) of the Dominican Order

The inverted pile was charged later with "a dog holding in its teeth a torch with which it illuminates an orb crossed proper". This infelicitous addition to the original simple design refers to the dream that Saint Dominic's mother is said to have had concerning her unborn son, and also contains a pun on the word "Dominican", the "Domini-canes", the dogs of the Lord illuminating the world with their preaching.

The arms of the Order with the addition of this complicated charge were borne in the upper half of a shield divided per fess by Agostino, Cardinal Pipia, General of the Dominican Order, created Cardinal in 1724, and on a chief above his personal arms, by Vincenzo Ludovico, Cardinal Gotti, created 1728.

According to legend the colours and name of Saint Dominic (1170–1221), founder of the Dominican Order, who was born in Caleruega as son of Jane of Aza and Felix of Guzman are derived from a a dream in which Jane saw a white dog with black spots holding a torch to illuminate the right path of God.

I have no information on the current arms.
