St. Martin's Day - Martinmas

Japanese: 聖マルティン祭 - せいマルティンさい(英語表記)Martinmas
St. Martin's Day - Martinmas
A Roman Catholic holiday commemorating the Christian saint Martin. November 11th. Martin founded the first monastery in Gaul and eventually became bishop of Tours, but he did not abandon his monastic life, instead educating many disciples and contributing to the spread of Christianity. When he was serving as a Roman soldier in the army of Amiens, one cold winter day he cut off half of his cloak and gave it to a nearly naked beggar. The next night, Christ appeared to him in a dream wearing the half of his cloak, and so Martin is often depicted with this scene.

キリスト教の聖人マルティヌスを記念するローマ・カトリック教会の祝日。11月11日。マルティヌスはガリアに最初の修道院を建て,やがてトゥールの司教となったが,修道生活を捨てず,多くの弟子を育て,布教に貢献した。彼がローマの軍人としてアミアンの軍隊にいたころ,厳冬のある日,裸同然の乞食に自分のマントの半分を切って与えたところ,次の夜,キリストがこの半分のマントを着て夢に現れたという逸話から,この光景によってマルティヌスを描く場合が多い。
