Life

Saint Vincent, hieromartyr, was a deacon from Gascony, in Gaul, and received martyrdom at Agen, around the year 300. He is commemorated on 9 June.

He was seized for disturbing a pagan service. Heavy torments were inflicted on him: he was stretched on the ground, tied to four stakes and beaten severely, and then his head was cut off.

Our source does not say where he was buried.
