Seville Cathedral commemorates this Thursday, May 14, the anniversary of the transfer of the remains of Saint Ferdinand to his current reliquary urn, carved by Laureano de Pina in 1729. To mark this occasion, the Cathedral Chapter has organized a day of worship and veneration in the Royal Chapel to honor the city’s Patron Saint.
