Who was Saint Martin?

Have you ever had just one piece of your absolute favorite candy left, and a friend asks for it? It's super hard to share when you don’t have much! But what if you could just snap it in half? In this episode of Philosophy is Not Boring, Mira and Finn explore an amazing 1,700-year-old story about a Roman soldier named Martin who did exactly that—but with something way more important than candy! Martin was a cavalry soldier riding through the freezing winter snow when he spotted a shivering beggar. Since he had already given away all his extra money, all Martin had left to stay warm was his own heavy wool cloak. What did he do? He drew his huge metal sword and sliced his beautiful cloak right down the middle to share! That night, he had an incredible dream that changed his life forever. Join us as we learn how this one act of giving half became famous around the world! Discover why kids in the Netherlands, Germany, and Austria walk through the dark, cold streets every November 11th with glowing paper lanterns singing songs. Learn how you don’t have to be a superhero to make a massive difference!
