Saint Dominic of Silos It is celebrated today, Friday, December 20, 2024 according to the calendar of Christian saints, among other names.
Santo Domingo de Silos, born in Navarra and dedicated to shepherding at the beginning of the 11th century, chose to settle in the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla. His exemplary conduct led him to be named prior. However, due to a conflict with King García III over the monastery’s properties, he decided to leave Navarra with two monks. In Castile, King Ferdinand I welcomed him and appointed him in charge of the monastery of Silos, where he transformed it into one of the most prosperous in Spain. Saint Dominic died in 1073.
