The legend of Santa Inocencia, whose name translates to St Innocent, includes a tale of a young girl who is killed by her father after taking Holy Communion.
The story suggests that her father banned her from becoming Catholic, but the girl ran away and joined the religion after befriending a nun.
On returning home after her Holy Communion ceremony, it is claimed her father attacked her – plunging a knife into her chest.
The girl’s body was later taken to the Cathedral where it remained as a sign of her love for the Eucharist.
