Martin of Tours. Bishop.
Feastday 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.
