'''Saint Vincent of Saragossa''' (Latin: '''Vincentius'''; died 22 January 304), also known as '''Vincent the Deacon''', was a 4th-century Spanish deacon and the protomartyr of Spain, renowned for his eloquence and courage under the Diocletianic Persecution.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15446a.htm |title=St. Vincent of Saragossa |publisher=New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia |access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> According to the near-contemporary poetic account of Prudentius (''Peristephanon'' hymn 5, c. 400) and Augustine’s sermons, Vincent was deacon to Bishop Valerius of Saragossa. Arrested with his bishop under Governor Dacian, Vincent spoke for both at trial in Valencia, earning savage torture—racked, torn with hooks, burned on a gridiron—yet remaining defiant. Beheaded on 22 January 304, his body was exposed to beasts but protected by a raven; cast into the sea weighted with a millstone, it washed ashore and was buried by Christians.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=19 |title=St. Vincent of Saragossa |publisher=Catholic Online |access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> | '''Saint Vincent of Saragossa''' (Latin: '''Vincentius'''; died 22 January 304), also known as '''Vincent the Deacon''', was a 4th-century Spanish deacon and the protomartyr of Spain, renowned for his eloquence and courage under the Diocletianic Persecution.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15446a.htm |title=St. Vincent of Saragossa |publisher=New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia |access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> According to the near-contemporary poetic account of Prudentius (''Peristephanon'' hymn 5, c. 400) and Augustine’s sermons, Vincent was deacon to Bishop Valerius of Saragossa.
