The Monastery of the Dominicans. The poor sisters who live here have seen such hardship in their little corner of Fanjeaux but they remain hopeful!

"St. Dominic's Way"

There are stories of St. Dominic walking barefoot while on the road. I did not feel brave enough to walk his way without my shoes!

A view of Fanjeaux from afar.

The Assassin's cross. The story goes that Dominic encountered a group of Cathar assassins and he was able to talk with them peacefully after telling them that he would be glad to be killed because he would become a martyr. Supposedly he was able to convert them.
