Discover the life of Saint Martin the Merciful, the fourth-century Bishop of Tours and a major figure in Christianity, remembered for his faith, humility and extraordinary charity towards the poor.
Beautifully illustrated in full colour, this book presents the life of Saint Martin through an account written by Saint Dimitri of Rostov in Russia during the second half of the seventeenth century.
A story from the Orthodox Christian tradition
This book offers a distinctive perspective on Saint Martin by presenting a French translation of his life based on the Eastern Orthodox tradition.
It brings together the Christian traditions of East and West through a saint who is deeply venerated by both Churches.

His life highlights essential Christian values:
- charity towards those in need;
- sharing and generosity;
- humility;
- faithfulness to the Gospel;
- love of one’s neighbour.
