"saint martin of tours"

.

‘latin’ –> Sanctus Martinus Turonensis

(‘316 or 336’ – ‘8 november 397’)

.

*”Saint Martin of Tours” was ‘Bishop of Tours’, whose shrine in France became a famous stopping-point for pilgrims on the road to “Santiago de Compostela” in ‘Spain’*

.

(he has become one of the most familiar and recognizable Christian saints)

(as he was born in what is now Szombathely, Hungary, spent much of his childhood in Pavia, Italy, and lived most of his adult life in ‘France’, he is considered a “spiritual bridge across Europe”)

(his life was recorded by a contemporary, the hagiographer “Sulpicius Severus”)

(some of the accounts of his travels may have been interpolated into his vita to validate early sites of his ‘cult’)

(he is best known for the account of his using his military sword to cut his cloak in two, to give half to a beggar clad only in rags in the depth of winter)

“gee thanks!”
(though a REAL saint would’ve let the poor dude have the whole jacket)

.

(conscripted as a ‘soldier’ into the ‘roman army’, he found the duty incompatible with the ‘christian faith’ he had adopted and became an early “conscientious objector”)
