EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the essence of Saint Dominica the Encuirasse, a revered figure known for his extreme austerity and devotion to mortification. The saint, who lived in Italy during the 11th century, earned his nickname "the Encuirasse" due to his habit of wearing iron armor that he would only remove for flogging as a form of penance.
Saint Dominica spent his life in the desolate deserts of Montefeltro and Fontavellano, deep in the Apennine mountains, subsisting solely on bread and water. His unwavering commitment to suffering and self-denial made him a celebrated figure among believers.
The engraving from "The Life of the Saints of the Calendar," dating back to the mid-19th century, beautifully depicts Saint Dominica's dedication to his faith through physical sacrifice. The feast day commemorating this remarkable saint falls on October 14th each year.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Saint Dominica's profound example of spiritual fortitude and willingness to endure hardship for the sake of divine love. May his legacy inspire us all to seek greater depths of devotion and selflessness in our own lives.
