The story of St. Martin,[object Object],According to legend Martin was the son of a Roman tribune and was born in the city of Savaria ( Szombathely, Hungary) in the Roman province of Pannonia around 316-317. On a cold night serving as a soldier for the Roman emperor, Martin saw a poorly dressed beggar and offered up half of his warm cloak so that he wouldn't freeze to death. That night Jesus appeared in his dreams as the beggar dressed in his cloak. The dream confirmed Martin’s faith and he left the army to serve God. His good deeds and his compassion for the poor became legendary and he was appointed to be the bishop of Tours. Martin was so humble that he hid in a stable full of geese to avoid choosing him as a bishop. The geese with their loud honking made so much noise that he was soon uncovered and Martin was ordained as Bishop of Tours, France in 371. He dedicated the rest of his life to help the needy.,[object Object]

It is cited 44 folk proverbs associated with his name. Here are some of them: "What`s Martin`s Day, the same winter is" ,"If Martin's dry, Christmas is with a slob" ," St. Martin rides on a white horse ". The Polish name is Martin fiction also has its place in the topography of the Polish (77 town borrowed its name from the name St. Martin). In many areas, Poles retained the 40-day fast before the advent as the equivalent of Lent before Easter, beeginning after St. Martin, 12 November. Hence the proverb: "When Marcinowa goose on the water . Christmas is on ice "(in fact you ate meat -the St. Martin's Goose- last time). And there were other, similar proverb:" The Marriage of Martin, a goose and a jug of wine. " - On that date the villagers were giving their masters the tribute. The figure of Saint Martin can be seen also in the coats of some Polish towns. ,[object Object]
