St. Martin was Hungarian, born in 315 AD. He was part of the Roman Cavalry. One day he saw a scantily clothed beggar who was cold. Martin ripped his cloak in half and wrapped it around the man. That night the Christ appeared to him in the cloak. He became a Christian monk and later the Bishop of Tours. He was said to have cured lepers with a kiss and raised people from the dead. He was a man of compassion who gave a great deal to charity. He is patron of those who are relying on strangers to help them. In Mexico, he is prayed to for small business, inn and shopkeepers who all rely on strangers for their livelihood.
"San Martin, like you, may I always be strong and charitable."
