El Arzobispo invita a recoger el testamento de Jaume I “que volia un poble unit, agermanat i no enfrontat”

Archbishop Enrique Benavent called on the people of Valencia to embrace the legacy of King James I during a Te Deum service at the Valencia Cathedral. The religious service marked the 750th anniversary of the king's death and the October 9 holiday.

Benavent stated that the king desired a united and fraternal people who possessed rights and institutions rather than a population divided by confrontation. He noted that the king was closely linked to the cathedral, having ordered its consecration to begin a new era in the local history.

The archbishop explained that recognizing this historical process is not about mythologizing the past, but acknowledging how the king helped shape the current identity of the region. He suggested that following this testament involves looking toward the future with hope. The service was attended by political, civil, and military authorities from Valencia.
