Madrugada del 12 de septiembre, en la Cañada de los Pozos de Hellín

In brief

Blessed Fortunato Arias Sánchez faced his executioners in the early hours of September 12, 1936, at the Cañada de los Pozos near Hellín.

According to Jorge López Teulón, the priest asked the militiamen transporting him who would kill him. When one man replied that he had been assigned the task, the priest gave him his wristwatch as a keepsake. Before his death, the priest requested to kiss a cross.
