Some early saints, whose lives are mostly undocumented, often had myths and backstories created for them, encouraged by churches overeager to promote the saint’s cult and popular piety. Amazing feats of death-defying courage and endurance have long been attributed to Vincent of Saragossa. We know that he was a deacon, a spokesman for his Bishop Valerius, who had a speech impediment; that he strongly resisted Diocletian’s persecution and refused to submit to it; that he was Spain’s first martyr in 304; and that Christians in that time and place mourned him deeply and exalted him highly.
