Born in Zaragoza, Vincent was deacon of Valeri and was martyred in Valencia during the persecution of roman emperor Diocletian, around the year 300.  He was condemned to multiple torments: he was flagellated, scratched by iron hooks on a cross, and finally burnt in the grill while soldiers threw salt on the wounds of his skin. Deprived of sepulchre, his body was thrown to the wild animals, but a raven helped him save his life. He was also thrown to the sea with stones tied around his neck but his body floated miraculously.

As Saint Stephen, Saint Vincent is represented as a young deacon dressed with a dalmatic and with the martyr’s palm.. On the other hand, generally his attributes were related to his passion: the stone, the cross, the grill…
