St. Martin's Legend

St. Martin’s Day is celebrated on November 11, named St. Martin’s Day in honour of St. Martin of Tours.
The celebration of this day is associated with the legend that says that a roman soldier, passing with his horse by a poor beggar who was almost naked, as he had nothing else to give him cut his cape with his sword and gave one half to the beggar.
It was a rainy day but, from that moment on, it stopped raining and nowadays you say that on November 11 there’s “Saint Martin’s Summer”.
