History of the shield:

• Early in the 15th century the Dominican Order adopted a single black and white shield, representing joy and penance.
• In the mid 15th century the 8-point star was added, representing compass points. The star is also a symbol of light and divine revelation.
• Dominicans are committed to bringing the light of truth to the whole world
