Faithful to Christ until the end

Vincent of Saragossa (also known as Vincent of Tarragona) was born in Spain in the third century, probably in Huesca, although other traditions mention Valencia or Saragossa as his place of origin. Coming from a noble family—the son of the consul Eutychius and the matron Enola—he received a meticulous education in letters and religious formation. From a young age he was entrusted to Bishop Valerius of Saragossa, who appointed him archdeacon and charged him with preaching and assisting him in his pastoral duties.
