His feast day is celebrated on December 27, remembering his testimony of light against the shadows of the world.  <\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<p>\nIn the decoration of the temple, his presence is essential: the great vault painted by Antonio Palomino is inspired by his visions of the Apocalypse, with the Celestial Jerusalem as an image of glory and eternal hope.<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<p>He inspires us today to look with depth, to live the faith with intelligence, and to keep the heart open to the mystery of God.<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<p>Together, they point to the double dimension of faith: the invitation to the path and the vision of glory. The sculptures flanking them on the facade facing the Plaza del Mercat, the rose window known as \u201cthe O of Sant Joan,\u201d and the great interior vault painted by Antonio Palomino underscore this symbolic responsibility. Accompanied by them, faithful and visitors can contemplate a sacred narrative that unites the Old and New Testaments, earth and heaven, history and the present.  <\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-133380557 {\n  font-size: 1.125rem;\n  line-height: 1.3;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-133380557 {\n    font-size: 1.25rem;\n  }\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #text-133380557 {\n    font-size: 1.375rem;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-577439476 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 15px 0px 15px;\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #col-577439476 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 0px 0px 0px 18%;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"gap-740535808\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-740535808 {\n  padding-top: 70px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #gap-740535808 {\n    padding-top: 120px;\n  }\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #gap-740535808 {\n    padding-top: 180px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"row row-collapse align-equal\"  id=\"row-1658867143\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1913368594\" class=\"col santo-name-col medium-12 small-12 large-2\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"text-3023774323\" class=\"text titles-font fw-700 santo-name\">\n\t\t\n<p data-animate=\"fadeIn\">Our Lady of the<br \/>Forsaken<\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3023774323 {\n  font-size: 1.75rem;\n  line-height: 1.3;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-3023774323 {\n    font-size: 2rem;\n  }\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #text-3023774323 {\n    font-size: 3rem;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1913368594 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-475569072\" class=\"col aureola-col santo-image-col medium-12 small-12 large-4\"  data-animate=\"blurIn\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover mb-0 x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_51848736\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/santosjuanesvalencia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/nuestros-santos-virgen-desamparados.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/santosjuanesvalencia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/nuestros-santos-virgen-desamparados.jpg 580w, https:\/\/santosjuanesvalencia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/nuestros-santos-virgen-desamparados-262x300.jpg 262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_51848736 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-1439890926\" class=\"gap-element clearfix show-for-medium\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1439890926 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-475569072 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 15px;\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #col-475569072 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1464839929\" class=\"col align-items-bottom-col medium-12 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"text-2940320532\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n<p>The Mare de D\u00e9u dels Desamparats, patroness of Valencia, is the mother and comfort of those who suffer.
