Martin of Tours (Latin: Sanctus Martinus Turonensis; 316 – 397), also known as Saint Martin, was a Roman soldier prior to becoming the third bishop of Tours.
Biography[]
Around 334, when the Roman army was station in Gaul,[1] Martin tore his robes in half to help dress a naked beggar on a cold winter's night. In his sleep, Martin saw a vision of Christ in the form of that beggar, and promptly converted to Christianity.[2]
Legacy[]
In 1542, a church dedicated to Saint Martin was built in London by order of King Henry VIII of England, who wanted to redirect the funeral processions of plague victims away from his home at Whitehall. Because there was already another church with the same name in the city, this church added a suffix to its name and became known as St Martin-in-the-Fields. The church as it stands today was built in 1721 on the site of the older church.[2]
