Story of Saint Martin

As a young man, Martin was a soldier in the Roman army. On a very cold day he saw a scantily clad beggar. Martin took off his military cloak and cut it in half with his sword to share with the man. That night, he dreamed of Jesus wearing the half-cloak he had given away. Jesus said to the angels: “Martin, who is still but a catechumen, clothed me with this robe.” When Martin awoke, he knew he had to change his life and leave the army. Confirmed in his piety, he got baptized and later in life was acclaimed as the Bishop of Tours.

Watch out kids!
St. Martin is coming – riding on the back of a horse –
and you can light the way
with a self crafted lantern.
