The Eastern Cross/Library/The Life of St. Martin of Tours
As a young soldier, Martin cut his cloak in two to clothe a freezing beggar, and that night saw Christ wearing it. He became a monk and then bishop of Tours, and the Gaul of his day was full of stories of his miracles.
Sulpicius knew him and wrote this life while Martin was still alive.
