Hello colleagues.

     We had a bit of a build up today:

Soldiers celebrate the holiday.

I'm a veteran and I'm celebrating too-It's Veterans Day.

The day of the end of WWI is celebrated.

However, St. Martin is also the patron saint of "beggars" and poor people-  he distributed coins to beggars

colleagues - if someone is giving out coins - it couldn't be a bad person  ,, well no -,, Let's honor his memory.

Let's try to find coins where it is depicted?

 

Good day war veterans and a nice greeting.

"According to the legend, he didn't have coins with him, so he cut his cloak with his sword and threw it to a beggar."
