Description
Saint Martin was a member of the Imperial cavalry stantioned near Amiens, in Gaul, who lived during the reign of Constantine the Great. Coming upon a shivering beggar near the city gates on a cold winter day, the young soldier divided his cloak with his sword and shared it with him. Tradition has it had Christ later appeared to Martin in a dream, saying "What thou hast done for that poor man, thou hast done for me".
