St. Martin' Day – November 11 (YAHOO 360°)

*

   

St. Martin's Day is November 11, the feast day of St. Martin,who started out as a Roman soldier. He was baptized when he was grown up and became a monk. It is understood that he was a kind man who led a quiet and simple life. The most famous legend of his life is that he once cut his cloak in half to share with a beggar during a snowstorm, to save the beggar from dying of the cold

In many countries on this day celebrates the end of the agrarian year and the beginning of the winter period. It’s very usual that on this day show up the first snowfall and we always say that St. Martin rides on a white horse...
