For the church and its parish, Monpazier decided to dedicate its patronage to Saint Dominic. Studying his life takes us back to the late 12th and early 13th centuries. The priest and founder of the order worked not only in Spain (he was born around 1167 as Domingo de Guzmán in Caleruega near Burgos), but also carried out his pastoral work in France and Italy. Saint Dominic's feast day in the calendar of saints is August 8th in the major Christian denominations, and there are many other local memorial days.
