Artwork by the
Benedictine Sisters of Turvey Abbey
Martin of
Tours. Bishop.
Feast Day:
11th November.
He lived
between 316-387 A.D. having been born to pagan parents in a Roman province in
modern day Hungary; he served as a soldier.
He was
baptised at around the age of 18. Preferring to serve Christ rather than the
army he was eventually discharged and became a disciple of Hilary of Poitiers.
Martin
established a monastery in France eventually becoming a Bishop, he ministered
to the poor and preached throughout the countryside.
Tradition
tells that Martin gave up half his cloak to a naked beggar, that evening he
dreamt that Christ himself was wearing the cloak.
After his
death he was a subject of devotion by the faithful, one of the first saints to
be so honoured despite the fact he was not a martyr.
