  • 11-11 Martin of Tours
    In the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice brought an end to the major hostilities of World War I in 1918. This Veterans Day we honor all American veterans—living or dead. We give thanks to our veterans who served this country honorably during war or peace. In addition to Veterans Day, 11 November is also the Memorial of Martin of Tours, the patron saint of soldiers. Martin left his family at the age of 15 to serve as a Roman soldier. On duty one day, he encountered a man who was freezing for lack of adequate clothing. Other soldiers in the unit payed no attention to the man. However, Martin stopped to render aid. He cut his own cloak in half with his sword and offered it to the beggar. That night, Jesus came to Martin in a dream wearing his cloak. “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me” (Mt 25:35-36). Martin had a generous heart and gave much of his pay away to help the poor, but this one incident was life changing. Martin had studied the faith for eight years since he was 10 but he had never been baptized. “Martin knew that the time for him to join the Church had arrived. He remained in the army for two years after his baptism, but desired to give his life to God more fully.”i He asked for an honorable discharge, but was met with skepticism and accused of cowardice for timing his decision when the Germans were on the offensive.

As he was born in what is now Szombathely, Hungary, spent much of his childhood in Pavia, Italy, and lived most of his adult life in France, he is considered a spiritual bridge across Europe.[1] His life was recorded by a contemporary, the hagiographer Sulpicius Severus. Some of the ac- counts of his travels may have been interpolated into his vita to validate early sites of his cult. He is best known for the account of his using his military sword to cut his cloak in two, to give half to a beggar clad only in rags in the depth of winter. Conscripted as a soldier into the Roman army, he found the duty incompatible with the Christian faith he had adopted and became an early conscientious objector.

Wieser Original scientific paper Institut für Mittelalterforschung, ÖAW Manuscript received: 01. 03. 2017. Hollandstrasse 11-13, A-1020 Wien, Austria Revised manuscript accepted: 04. 03. 2017. [email protected] DOI: 10.1484/J.HAM.5.113745 [email protected] is article1 compares the deaths of two abbots as told by contemporary observers, and shows how the relationship between these saints and their ascetic communities on the one hand and secular imperial authorities on the other hand would be consolidated in the way people were shown to react to their demise. First, the life and death Saint Martin of Tours (c. 316-397) are analysed through the Vita Martini and the letters by Sulpicius Severus. Against the backdrop of a strenuous relation between Roman imperial interests and a burgeoning Christendom, the author uses Martin’s post-mortem reputation to appropriate the authority of his erstwhile rival, the emperor Maximus. In doing so, an attempt is made to resolve the conundrum of how to be Christian under Roman authority. en, two dierent descriptions of the death of Benedict of Aniane (c. 750-821) are presented, one by his hagiographer Ardo, the other a supposed eye-witness account by the monks of Inda. By contrasting these two accounts, it will be shown how dierent observers dealt with the tensions between personal salvation, imperial reform eorts and monastic idealism that emerged when secular and religious authority converged in the Carolingian era.

Januar 2018 ziehen die Ministranten und Kinder als Heilige Drei Könige von Haus zu Haus. Wir bringen den Menschen den Segen nach Hause. Kaspar Melchior Balthasar . Sternsingen Fastnacht und Fasching • 1. Alemannische Fastnacht Unsere Vorfahren, die alten Germanen, feierten im Frühling ein wildes Fest um die bösen Wintergeister zu vertreiben und somit die kalte Jahreszeit zu beenden. Sie setzten sich gruselige Masken auf und machten mit ihren Trommeln und Rasseln einen ohrenbetäubenden Lärm. Aus den Masken sind heute Kostüme aller Art geworden – meistens sind diese bunt und lustig. • 2. Fastenzeit im zwölften Jahrhundert Ein zweiter Ursprung geht bis ins zwölfte Jahrhundert zurück. Um den Glauben der Menschen zu stärken, hat der Papst eine jährliche Fastenzeit zwischen Aschermittwoch und Karsamstag verordnet. Die Menschen sollten mehr beten und dafür weniger essen. Besonders Fleisch war streng verboten. Dies erklärt auch die Bezeichnung Karneval. Der Begriff kommt aus dem Lateinischen und „Carne vale“ bedeutet in etwa „Fleisch, lebe wohl“. Vor der strengen Fastenzeit haben es sich die Menschen dann noch einmal richtig gut gehen lassen und ausgiebig gegessen und gefeiert. • 3. Das Saturnalienfest Im alten Rom wurde früher das „Saturnalienfest“ gefeiert, welches als weiterer Ursprung für unser heutiges Karnevalsfest steht. Für einen Tag waren die Herren und ihre Sklaven „gleichgestellt“. Es kam sogar vor, dass die vornehmen Herren ihre Sklaven bedient haben. Heute spiegelt sich diese Tradition in den „Büttenreden“ wieder. Das Volk erhebt das Wort und hält lustige Reden.

    Parish of Saint Martin of Tours 40 Seaman Avenue, Bethpage, New York 11714 John 3:14-21: For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God. Fourth Sunday of Lent March 14, 2021 OUR MISSION STATEMENT We, the parish family of St. Martin of Tours, focus on the Eucharist because it affords all of its parishioners the opportunity to participate and celebrate the presence of our Risen Lord. We seek through Word and Eucharist to be guided by the Holy Spirit. We do so to build a welcoming community of love and mutual respect through our liturgical, spiritual, educational and social ministries where all can grow in their relationship with God.

  • LPTW Martin of Tours
    Lesson Plans that Work Martin of Tours Lesson Plans for Older and Younger Children Feast Day, November 11 Martin of Tours c. 330-397 The saints are “the lights of the world in every generation,” people whose lives and deeds have shone brightly and helped others more closely follow God. There are saints who lived long ago and there are saints living and working in the world today, saints who are known by the church and saints who are known only to God. We say that the church—we—are part of the Communion of Saints, the company of all faithful people, connected through our baptism to those Christians who have died, those who are alive now, and those who haven’t yet been born. The word “saint” means holy. In the Episcopal Church we have a Calendar of Saints, holy men and women we remember in prayer and with readings from the Bible on their feast day. Supplies needed: white cloth for prayer table, a candle. For older children: a Bible, poster board and markers, copier paper and pens. For younger children: mason jars or jam jars, yellow and orange tissue paper, glue or ModPodge, brushes, votive candles (battery-operated or real), wire to fashion handles if desired. Prepare: Prepare your prayer/gathering space with a small table, or space with a piece of cloth. On this cloth place a white candle. You may wish to place an image of Martin on the table. Welcoming the children: Gather the children around the prayer space and ask some wondering questions: I wonder what kind of person is called a saint? I wonder what the work of a saint might be? (You may wish to share the introduction above.) Today we will hear the story of Saint Martin of Tours.

  • Parish Anniversary
    Remembering the words of Jesus: “Whatever you do for the least of my brethren, you do for me.” WHERE HE LIVED SAINT MARTIN OF TOURS Born in Hungary, Raised in Italy (Roman Feast Day: November 11 316 A.D. - 397 A.D. Army), Lived and ministered in France HIS LIFE: Martin became a soldier in the Roman Army at age 15 and served for 20 years. His father was an officer in the Roman army. While a soldier, Martin was riding his horse one day when he saw a poor man by the side of the road who was cold. He used his sword to cut his military cloak in half and then gave half to the beggar. Later, he had a vision of Christ in his dream. In that dream, Christ was wearing the cloak he had shared. The message for Martin was that what he did for the poor man, he had done for Christ. This prompted Martin to want to follow Jesus and devote his life to helping others. He left the army and was converted to Christianity. He became a monk and a follower of St. Hilary. The people of Tours in France asked that he become their bishop, which he did in 371. Martin lived a long and holy life in which he had concern for the poor, lived simply, and shared what he had with those in need. 1.The Fleur-de-lis indicates his apostolate in France (The lily MARTIN’S WORDS is a symbol of France). Once when he saw a shorn sheep, he said, “This sheep teaches a lesson from the Gospel.

  • Saint Martin of Tours (Written for Ages 8-11)
    Saint Martin of Tours (written for ages 8-11) Note to Teachers: Read the story with the class. Some suggestions for discussion and reflection follow. Have Bibles for students to share, and a map of France to point out where Saint Martin lived and worked. You might also want to have a picture of a cloak, or check to make sure students know what a cloak is. Better yet, bring a real cloak to class if you can get one. Have drawing/writing materials if you plan to have the students draw or write about something Saint Martin did, as suggested below. The man we know as Saint Martin of Tours, in France, was born around the year 316. He was the son of a man who served in the Roman Army. The rule in those days was that if your father had served in the army you had to join the army too. So at the age of just 15, Martin became a soldier, though he never liked it very much. One good thing about being a soldier was that you were given a warm woolen cloak to wear in the cold weather. One of the most famous stories about Martin has to do with that cloak. He was wearing it one windy, cold day as he rode his horse into town. Martin really looked like a proud soldier in his uniform and cloak, his horse prancing along and his shining sword hanging from his belt. As he rode along, he noticed a thin, sick-looking man shivering in the cold by the side of the road.
