The Story Behind this Icon:

Saint Martin was born in Pannonia (modern-day Hungary) in 316 AD. His father was an officer in the Roman legions and thus Martin also served in the army, albeit unwillingly as he considered himself a soldier for Christ. One winter, Saint Martin saw a beggar shivering in the cold, and cut his cloak in two to give half to the beggar. (This scene is depicted in our Holy Icon where Saint Martin, astride his horse, extends his sword so as to cut his cloak for the beggar.) That night, Jesus Christ appeared to Martin wearing his cloak, and Martin heard Christ say to the angels around Him, Martin is only a catechumen, but he has clothed Me with this garment.â Saint Martin was baptized soon thereafter.

Saint Martin left the legions for religious reasons after the barbarian invasions of Gaul. He travelled to various places across the Empire, spending some time as a hermit on an island off the Italian peninsula. After several years of ascetic life, Saint Martin was chosen as Bishop of Tours in 371 AD though, as bishop, he did not give up his monastic lifestyle, and the place where he settled outside Tours became a monastery. He is regarded the founder of monasticism in France. He is called the Merciful because of his generosity and care for the poor and he received the grace to work miracles. Saint Martin reposed in Christ in 397 AD and many churches in the West were dedicated to him.

Keeps clutter away
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Black (Metal Silvered)
This works great to corral all my notes I write on post its or small notes. Keeping them hidden from the desk top b/c or the depth but still visible to me. Much better than keeping on the plotter. Looks great in quality .

Attractive, Simple, And Well-Made
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Orange (Metal Glided)
I use this as a "catchall". A place to stash things like my wallet and keys when I enter the door, so that I don't use them (I had been prone to that!). It serves it's purpose well. It's both sturdy and attractive, and a good size for a "catchall". Recommended for those like me who need such things.
