The relics of San Vicente Ferrer in the Archdiocesan Shrine of Leganes include a piece of nail and a piece of cloth, both believed to be connected to the saint. These relics are housed in beautifully crafted reliquaries, one ornate with a Russian-style cross and another with a red background frame. Previously, the relics were displayed for public veneration every first Friday and during the town’s annual fiesta, though this tradition stopped during the pandemic. The relics hold deep spiritual, historical, and social meaning, reflecting the town’s long-standing devotion to San Vicente Ferrer. Currently, the relics are secured in a church vault, though there are concerns about fading, abrasion, and risks from improper handling.
