Vicente’s story dates from the 4th century, when he was tortured to death by an imperial anti-Christian campaign. He was since martyred, and has become one of Valencia’s main historical heroes. His arm has been recovered and is preserved in the city Cathedral. This morbid little icon will be paraded around the city in its urn, as part of the public holiday.
