On the coat of arms of the second largest city of Transcarpathia, the image of St. Martin, who gives the poor half of his cloak. This Catholic the Saint, Archbishop of tours, was born in 316 or 317 in Savaria, which was located in the Roman province of Pannonia (modern Hungary). According to the legend, Martin’s father did not want his son to become Christian a monk, and insisted on a military career for him. So Martin came to Gaul (modern France), where he served as an officer. One winter, he saw a poor man freezing to death. Martin tore his cloak into two equal parts and gave half of it to the stranger. So it is not for nothing that Saint Martin is considered the patron Saint of beggars. He is also considered a defender against drunkenness and poverty. He also went down in history as the founder of the chaplaincy.
