Saint Martin of Tours was a 4th-century bishop known for his compassion and dedication to the Christian faith. Born in what is now Hungary, he became a soldier before converting to Christianity. He is famous for the story of sharing his cloak with a beggar, which symbolizes his commitment to helping those in need. He later became the bishop of Tours in France, where he established monasteries and spread Christianity throughout the region. Saint Martin is celebrated as a patron saint of soldiers and the poor, and his feast day is observed on November 11. His legacy continues to inspire acts of charity and kindness.
