Скачать или смотреть St. Martín of Tours - Life Story

Martin of Tours, also known as Martin the Merciful, was the third bishop of Tours. He served in the Roman cavalry in Gaul, but left military service at some point prior to 361, when he became a disciple of Hilary of Poitiers, establishing the monastery at Ligugé. He was consecrated as Bishop of Caesarodunum (Tours) in 371.

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

He is the patron saint of the poor, soldiers, conscientious objectors, tailors, horses, South Africa, and winemakers.

His feast day is on the 11th of November.
