Vincent Ferrer's case illustrates not simply the process by which an official image of the saint was shaped by ecclesiastical authorities, but also the multifaceted nature of a powerful religious symbol, as political leaders, individual Christians, and different localities each sought to use Vincent as a potent sign to meet a variety of contexts and experiences.
