>* Vincent of Saragossa, martyr (304)
>- after many horrible tortures, the body of Vincent was thrown upon
>a marshy field, where a raven defended it from scavenging birds and
>animals; a sermon attributed to Leo the Great states that his body
>was eventually put in a sack and thrown into the sea, but that it
>was carried back to the shore and revealed to two Christians
>
>And some of it is now to be found in a feretory (large reliquary) in the
Anglican shrine at Walsingham - so the story must be true!
