'''Saint Martin of Tours''' (Latin: ''Martinus''), (316 or 317 - November 11, 397) was a bishop of Tours, a city in France. His life story was recorded by a friend, Sulpitius Severus, and relates Martin's piety as a monk, and the miracles that followed his ministry. Martin was used to raise the dead, heal the sick, prophecy, cast out devils, and tear down the altars of the heathen. Through all this, Martin regularly chose to give his belongings to the poor, and caused those that heard him to believe on the Lord Jesus. | '''Saint Martin of Tours''' (Latin: ''Martinus''), (316 or 317 - November 11, 397) was a bishop of Tours, a city in France.
