Martin of Tours - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The early life of Saint Martin that was written by Sulpicius Severus who knew him personally [1], while it expresses the intimate closeness the 4th century Christian felt with the Devil in all his disguises, is at the same time filled with accounts of miracles so extravagant as apparently to challenge disbelief. William M. Branham (a 20th century Bible minister) made the claim that Saint Martin played a key role in church history. Martin is the patron saint of Szombathely, with a church dedicated to him, and also the patron saint of Buenos Aires. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Martin_of_Tours   (1749 words)

Saint Martin of Tours - Catholic Online Martin stated his case that this was a church matter and that secular authority had no power to intervene and that excommunication of the heretics was punishment enough.

Paris MYSTERIOUS : Canal Saint-Martin Description and History The Canal St-Martin evokes clearly pre-war Paris, the working-class accent of the Belleville quarter, the famous black and white film Hôtel du Nord and its cheeky-voiced actress Arletty. The canal itself was constructed in 1825 at the behest of Napoleon III, the calm, straight waterway an effort to alleviate the congestion on the Seine between la Villette and République, as well as a means of providing drinking water to residents of the west of Paris. These days tourist barges make their way along the canal at near-walking pace, those aboard gliding through the heart of the quarter, seemingly at the doorsteps of the bourgeois buildings lining the route. www.parisbestlodge.com /canalsaintmartin.html   (197 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Martin of Tours Martin remained about ten years in this solitude, but often left it to preach the Gospel in the central and western parts of Gaul, where the rural inhabitants were still plunged in the darkness of idolatry and given up to all sorts of gross superstitions. Martin was very desirous of returning to Gaul, but, learning that the Arians troubled that country also and had even succeeded in exiling Hilary to the Orient, he decided to seek shelter on tbe island of Gallinaria (now Isola d'Albenga) in the middle of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Martin, who was still only a catechumen, soon received baptism, and was a little later finally freed from military service at Worms on the Rhine. www.newadvent.org /cathen/09732b.htm   (197 words)
