The story
of the origin:
The story
of the origin of the name St. Vincent began long ago, in the year of 325, in the Spanish city of Huesca, the
Province of Saragoza. There a young
fellow called Vincent was born. He was a dedicated priest who stood out for his
work, so that the bishop of Saragoza, entrusted Valerio with the task as a
Christian preacher and catechetical counselor.
They and
many others were arrested and condemned, and killed, but through it all he did
not deny the Christian faith.
Through
this incident Vincent was canonized and received the name of St. Vincent Martyr.
So when a
Portuguese expedition led by Gaspar de Lemos arrived here on January 22, 1502, he
gave the name to the island, St. Vincent.
