Saint Martin: Sharing his cloak with a beggar Martin was a Roman soldier who was born around 316 AD. According to legend, he rode past a starving and freezing beggar on a cold winter's day. He felt so sorry for the man that Martin used his sword to split his warm cloak in half and gave the beggar half. That night, the beggar appeared to Martin in a dream and revealed himself to be Jesus Christ.
