l’uscita da Santo Domenico Exiting Saint Domenic Bologna

Saint Dominic is the patron saint of the innocent  who are falsely accused.

Ironically 20 years after his death the Dominican Order played a key role in the Inquisition, which was created to investigate and prosecute non believers. , the monks investigated, interrogated and punished those who disagreed with their societal views. The  executions were carried out by the police.

Saint Sebastian was tied to a column and shot with arrows, though this did not kill him. He survived to preach his beliefs again.  Sebastian is the patron saint of the police and plagues.
