Almighty God, whose deacon Vincent, upheld by thee, was not terrified by threats nor overcome by torments: Strengthen us, we beseech thee, to endure all adversity with invincible and steadfast faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Today's the feast of St Vincent, a 3rd Century Spanish deacon martyr, shown being tortured on a grid iron in 13th Century French glass now in the Stained Glass Museum, Ely. His legend is similar to that of St Lawrence, another Spanish deacon martyr of roughly the same date. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/kVyqEzec1o
