St Martin of Tours

Today, 11 Nov 2014, is the memorial of St Martin of Tours.

In September of 2013, I was on pilgrimage  to Rome, It, and prayed in the Church of St Martin on the Mountain.  It is a short walk from St Mary Major.


This painting depicts a significant scene in the life of St Martin, and his conversion to Christianity.

There is a chapel devoted to St Martin of Tours in the lower church, in the Basilica of St Francis in Assisi.  It is adjacent to one dedicated to the Immaculate Conception.

My parents named me after St Martin of Tours.
