On a bitterly cold night, a young soldier cut his own cloak in half to warm a beggar. That night, in a dream, he discovered who the beggar was. The story of Saint Martin of Tours, the soldier who became a bishop.

Sebastian was a soldier in the Roman emperor's guard, and he carried a secret: he was a Christian. In secret, he helped the prisoners and strengthened the faith of the persecuted, until the day he had to choose between his life and Christ.
