Dominic is the patron saint of astronomers. Dominic was born in Caleruega, halfway between Osma & Aranda de Duero in Old Castile, Spain. He was named after Saint Dominic of Silos. The Benedictine abbey of Santo Domingo de Silos lies a few miles north of Caleruega. in the earliest narrative source, by Jordan of Saxony, Dominic's parents are named Felix Guzman & Juanna of Aza. The story is told that before his birth his barren mother made a pilgrimage to the Abbey at Silos, & dreamt that a dog leapt from her womb carrying a flaming torch in its mouth, & "seemed to set the earth on fire." This story drew resonance from the fact that his order became known, after his name, as the Dominican order, Dominicanus in Latin which a play on words interpreted as Domini canis: "Dog of the Lord." Jordan adds that Dominic was brought up by his parents & a maternal uncle who was an archbishop. The failure to name his parents is not unusual, since Jordan wrote a history of the Order's early years, rather than a biography of Dominic. A later source, still of the 13th century, also gives their names as Juana & Felix.Nearly a century after Dominic's birth, a local author asserted that Dominic's father was "vir venerabilis et dives in populo suo" ("an honoured & wealthy man in his village"). The travel narrative of Pero Tafur, written circa 1439 (about a pilgrimage to Dominic's tomb in Italy), states that Dominic's father belonged to the family de Guzmán, & that his mother belonged to the Aça or Aza family.Dominic's mother, Jane of Aza, was beatified by Pope Leo XII in 1828.
