    Following in the footsteps of our saint

    Following in the footsteps of our saint

    You may have noticed that a picture of a Roman Soldier figures prominently on our site but you may not know why. Well the soldier is none other than St. Martin himself who, as a young man, was required to do military service in the Roman Army. Legend has it that while stationed in Gaul (modern-day France), he experienced a vision, which became the most-repeated story about his life. One day as he was approaching the gates of the city of Amiens, he met a scantily clad beggar.
