Saint Martin, also known as Saint Martin of Tours, was a 4th-century Christian bishop renowned for his kindness and humility. Born in what is now Hungary, he is most famous for cutting his cloak in half to share with a cold and destitute soldier. This act of charity exemplifies his compassion and dedication to helping others. He later became a bishop and a prominent figure in Christian history, inspiring many with his humility and service. Saint Martin is celebrated in various countries, especially in France and parts of Germany, often with festivals and traditions that honor his spirit of generosity and care for those in need.
