Today, many of the nations that fought in the war celebrate that armistice and veterans in general. The holiday goes by many names: Veteran’s Day in the United States, Remembrance Day in the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth, and Armistice Day in France and Belgium. However, November 11 is also commemorated for another reason: the feast day of St. Martin of Tours. One of the Catholic Church’s most important saints, St. Martin served as a soldier in the Roman Army and lived in what is now France. Is this just a coincidence, or is there a relationship between this French military saint and the ending of one of the bloodiest wars in French history? An Orthodox Icon of St. Martin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687ec681409cc93c92e29689/3499f24d-ac2c-4a87-bba8-f8b853a27185/basilica_st_martin_neo_1.jpg GJOH Blog - Saint Martin and the Eleventh Hour: The Overlapping Meanings of November 11 - In the 19th century, the French Third Republic revived the cult of St. Martin and promoted the image of Martin as a soldier-saint, a symbol of French nationalism, and the growing alliance between right wing political forces and the Church. During the Franco-Prussian War, Saint Martin was called upon to protect France, and at Tours a weekly "military mass” was held at Martin’s tomb for soldiers and their families. Martin was even promoted as a masculine replacement of Marianne, the female personification of France famous from Delacroix’s painting Liberty Leading the People (Brennan 1997, 491-492). As defeat in the Franco-Prussian War led to the establishment of the Paris Commune in 1871, reactionary elements in the Army and the Government embraced Catholicism, and with it Martin, as a counter to growing class conflict (Brennan 1997, 492-493). When the First World War began in 1914, Martin continued to be used as a French military symbol, alongside military saints from other allied nations such as Britain’s St. George (Brennan 1997, 492). The current Basilica of St. Martin in Tours was built between 1886 and 1924 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687ec681409cc93c92e29689/6a9e89d7-7ea3-48e7-a6f6-44cb923386eb/jimmy_carter_lays_wreath_2.jpg GJOH Blog - Saint Martin and the Eleventh Hour: The Overlapping Meanings of November 11 - These descriptions sound very similar to the types of secular Armistice Day celebrations that occur today. Ceremonies are often held at symbolic “Tombs of the Unknown Soldier” and include the placement of flags and wreaths. Even if the association is just a coincidence, the Catholic Church continues to blend together celebrations of Saint Martin’s Day with celebrations of the Armistice. On the hundredth anniversary of the armistice in 2018, at St. Martin’s shrine in Tours, both “armistice masses” and masses for St. Martin’s feast were celebrated, which included the placement of French and American flags in the church, just as in 1918. Though seemingly a coincidence, the convergence of St. Martin’s Day and Armistice celebrations highlights how civic society and religious practice can intersect. Not only is there a, perhaps expected, sacralization of a secular memorial, but also the introduction of that civic commemoration into the realm of religious ritual. President Jimmy Carter lays a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider, in Arlington National Cemetery, for Veteran’s Day. https://www.georgetownjournalofhistory.org/gjoh-blog/campus-maps-over-time-part-i-post-war-development-1945-to-1967 monthly 0.5 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687ec681409cc93c92e29689/46d6cc86-9559-4df9-b68a-e4f9a5370ef1/Screenshot+2025-11-06+at+12.18.45%E2%80%AFAM.png GJOH Blog - Campus Maps Over Time | Part I: Post-War Development (1945 to 1967) - Make it stand out Map of Georgetown University in 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687ec681409cc93c92e29689/202f8244-ea28-490e-b4e5-2459a11bae1c/Screenshot+2025-11-06+at+12.21.30%E2%80%AFAM.png GJOH Blog - Campus Maps Over Time | Part I: Post-War Development (1945 to 1967) - Make it stand out Map of Georgetown University in 1945 – Booth Center for Special Collections, Georgetown University https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687ec681409cc93c92e29689/0f9c32ae-90b0-4698-9ce6-a3a7b164d9fd/Screenshot+2025-11-06+at+12.24.52%E2%80%AFAM.png GJOH Blog - Campus Maps Over Time | Part I: Post-War Development (1945 to 1967) - Make it stand out “Aerial View of Greater Georgetown,” showing the proposed Andrew White Memorial Quadrangle, by Emile G.
