The Domician Monastery
The result was that many Christians heard the Word of God rarely if at all . Dominic
envisioned the creation of a body of trained theologians who would scatter throughout
Europe and proclaim the gospel in the most remote areas. The nordic countries appear
very early on the Dominic anagenda.
To reach Tallinn the friars followed the trade route along the southern coast of the Baltic
Sea, and reached Estonia some 750 years ago. The monastery in Tallinn was certainly in
existence by1246.Constructed in the gothic style, it exhibits a number of Interesting
architectural features,and contains the largest collection of carved stones in Estonia.
The site of the monastery in the Old City was carefully chosen in order to facilitate both
the ministry of the friars and their business interests.They traded in fish in order to
support themselves,but their reason for existing was preaching the word of God. The seal
of the monastery bore the words `Order of Preachers"
