 Feast Day of Valencia's Patron Saint |
Plaza de Zaragoza, s/n Valencia 46003 Spain |
San Vicente Mártir's Feast Day is held on January 22. He is the (male) Patron Saint of Valencia. The Saint was killed by order of Roman Emperor Diocleciano in 304 A.D. The cathedral still preserves one of the Saint's intact arms. The main event on this Feast Day is the General Procession to all the religious spots where popular legend has it the future Saint would be martirized. These acts are then followed by a Papal Mass held by the Archbishop in the cathedral. The last event is a mass held according to the Hispano-Mozarabic rites in the sepulchre of the basilica, also known as La Roqueta. Review © 2007, Wcities |
