Le bon saint?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pas le 6 d\u00e9cembre. Aux alentours de Klerken, les enfants ne seront pas surpris de voir d\u00e9ja les d\u00e9corations de No\u00ebl, parce que le bon Saint est d\u00e9j\u00e0 venu le 11 novembre. On c\u00e9l\u00e8bre le Saint Martin, au lieu du Saint Nicolas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le saint homme vieillit aussi, et ne peut donc pas servir le monde entier en un jour. En plus des nombreux saints assistants et des autres aides bienveillants, il y a quelques autres saints et figures qui g\u00e2tent les enfants au fin d’ann\u00e9e. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mais qui sont ces saints, et pourquoi est-ce qu’ils donnent des cadeaux aux enfants?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint Martin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ou le Saint Martinus de Tours. Il est n\u00e9 au d\u00e9but du quatri\u00e8me si\u00e8cle, probablement ca. 316 AD, et mour\u00fbt le 8 novembre 397. Son jour de nom se c\u00e9l\u00e8bre le 11 novembre, le date de ses premi\u00e8res fun\u00e9railles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il est n\u00e9 en Hongrie, mais ses parents \u00e9taient d’origine Romains. Il a grandi en Ticinum, aujourd’hui Pavia en Italie. Son P\u00e9re aimerait bien que le jeune Martinus, comme lui-m\u00eame, poursuiva une carri\u00e8re \u00e0 l’arm\u00e9e Romaine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Martin, de sa part, n’\u00e9tait pas trop chaud pour l’id\u00e9e: son Dieu lui parlait de pais. Mais, \u00e0 l’age de 15 ans, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 forc\u00e9 de s’enr\u00f4ler dans la garde imp\u00e9riale. Ainsi, il se trouva en Gaule, donc en France. Et l\u00e0, tout ne venait que de commencer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martinus en action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Il \u00e9tait appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 de ses camarades soldats – l\u00e0 o\u00f9 il pouvait aider, il le faisait, et ce qu’il pouvait donner, il le donnait avec plaisir. C’est ainsi que nous arrivons \u00e0 l’histoire que la plupart des gens connaissent du Saint Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Un soir froid, \u00e0 la porte d’Amiens, il aper\u00e7ut un pauvre mendiant nu, qui croisa tout le monde. Martin m\u00eame n’avait plus rien d’autre \u00e0 lui que la moiti\u00e9 de sa cape \u2013 l’autre moiti\u00e9, raconte l’histoire, appartenait \u00e0 l’arm\u00e9e. Alors il prit son \u00e9p\u00e9e, coupa la moiti\u00e9 de son manteau et la donna au mendiant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La nuit, J\u00e9sus lui apparut, v\u00eatu de son demi manteau. “En v\u00e9rit\u00e9, Je vous le dis, puisque vous l’avez fait \u00e0 l’un des plus petits de mes fr\u00e8res, vous Me l’avez fait.” (Matt. 25:40) Martin, \u00e0 vingt ans, d\u00e9cida donc de se faire baptiser le plus t\u00f4t possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Anecdote : la cape a \u00e9t\u00e9 conserv\u00e9e comme relique. En latin, on l’appelait capella<\/em>. La partie de l’\u00e9glise o\u00f9 elle \u00e9tait expos\u00e9e ? En effet, on l’appelait alors chapelle. Apr\u00e8s le manteau du Saint-Martin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quelque temps plus tard, Tours avait besoin d’un nouvel \u00e9v\u00eaque. Qui mieux que Martin ? Il \u00e9tait largement connu comme un homme simple, mais sage et persuasif. Simple et humble, bien s\u00fbr. Si humble, en fait, que pour se passer de cette honneur, il s’est m\u00eame cach\u00e9 dans un poulailler. On raconte. Une autre version dit que tout le monde, \u00e0 des kilom\u00e8tres \u00e0 la ronde, se rassemblait le long de la route, de son monast\u00e8re, \u00e0 la cath\u00e9drale, pour l’emmener \u00e0 Tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Et puis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Et il y a beaucoup plus d’histoires. Ce qui est particuli\u00e8rement frappant, c’est \u00e0 quel point Martinus est toujours rest\u00e9 persuasif et humble. Si vous voulez en savoir plus, lisez la Vita Sancti Martini<\/em> de Sulpicius Severus. Sulpicius lui-m\u00eame \u00e9tait un admirateur du Saint-Martin, qui l’a m\u00eame rencontr\u00e9 lui-m\u00eame. Une traduction en anglais<\/a> est disponible en ligne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans les articles suivants, nous d\u00e9taillerons les traditions autour de Saint Martin, comment nous reconnaissons le bon saint et \u00e9galement quelque chose \u00e0 propos de son coll\u00e8gue le Saint Nicolas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
