Historical Usage
Martin of Tours was a 4th-century Roman soldier who became a bishop and is now regarded as the patron saint of France. According to legend, Martin had a vision in which he saw a beggar freezing in the snow, and he cut his military cloak in half to give to the beggar. Martin later dreamed that he saw Jesus wearing the half of the cloak he had given away, and was inspired to sell all of his military possessions and become a monk.
4th century
Martin Luther, a German monk, is the father of the Protestant Reformation. He is said to have nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, on October 31, 1517. This act is seen as the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, which challenged the Catholic Church's authority and led to the formation of Protestant denominations.
