Day of St. Martin

In honour of the day.

***

Lead glass window in the Catholic church Église Saint-Aignan de Chartres in Chartres. It portrays Saint Martin and was fabricated in the early 16th century (according to a leaflet in the church); the deterioration of this window and others appears to be owing partly to the siege of Chartres during the 'Wars of Religion' in 1568. The parish in which the church is situated once belonged to the counts of Blois and of Chartres. Photograph taken in January 2011, and uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, by Reinhardhauke.
