Saint Vincent Ferrer, born on January 23, 1350, in Valencia, was a Dominican friar and fiery preacher whose apocalyptic sermons and miracles galvanized Europe during the Western Schism. Joining the Dominicans in 1367, he studied in Barcelona and Toulouse, becoming a theology professor before embarking on a 20-year preaching mission from 1399. Known as the “Angel of the Apocalypse,” he roamed Spain, France, and Italy, urging repentance and healing divisions between rival popes, converting thousands—including Jews and Muslims—with his multilingual oratory. His miracles, like raising the dead and healing the sick, bolstered his fame. Exhausted from ceaseless travel, he died on April 5, 1419, in Vannes, Brittany, after preaching Lent.
