That Night, the Stranger Was Christ. That Is Why Every Business in Latin America Knows His Name.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was winter in Amiens, in the year 334, and a Roman soldier named Martin was riding through the city gates when he saw a beggar half-naked, shaking with cold, ignored by everyone who passed. Martin had no money to give. What he had was his military cloak. He drew his sword, cut the cloak in half, and gave half to the beggar. That night, Martin dreamed of Christ wearing the half-cloak and saying to the angels around him: \u003cem\u003eMartin, who is still a catechumen, has covered me with this garment.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMartin was baptized shortly after. He became a bishop. He became one of the great saints of the Western Church. He died in 397 and was buried at Tours, where the Basilica built over his tomb became one of the most important pilgrimage sites in medieval Europe. He is the patron of France. He is the patron of soldiers. He is the patron of the poor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd in Latin America, he is something more specific and more commercially powerful than any of that: he is \u003cstrong\u003eSan Martín Caballero, \u003c\/strong\u003eSaint Martin the Knight the patron of business, of commerce, of the open door and the full cash register and the steady stream of customers that every merchant prays for. His image hangs near the entrance of shops and restaurants and market stalls from Mexico City to Buenos Aires. His candle burns beside the register. His coins are kept in the till. He is petitioned every morning by people who make their living through commerce and who know, with the easy certainty of long tradition, that San Martín Caballero brings customers through the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe logic is the logic of the cloak: he gave generously, and generosity returned to him a hundredfold. He is petitioned to open that same flow to make the business generous in its offerings and abundant in its returns, to draw people in, to keep the money moving, to bless the work of every merchant who honors him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSan Martín Caballero 7 Day Glass Candle\u003c\/strong\u003e carries that commercial blessing, that money-drawing power, and that spirit of generous abundance through seven full days of burning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional Petitions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBusiness success and commercial prosperity — the patron saint of business in Latin America; petitioned to make any commercial venture thrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrawing customers and clients — burned to bring people through the door, increase foot traffic, and fill the register\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinancial abundance and money drawing — petitioned to open the flow of money and keep it moving toward you\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood luck in commerce and trade — patron of merchants, market vendors, and all who make their living through buying and selling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharity and generosity — petitioned by those who wish to give more and embody the spirit of the cloak-sharing soldier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilitary personnel and soldiers — his own former profession; patron of those in military service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtection of the poor — the beggar at the gates; petitioned for provision for those who have nothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Work This Candle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace this candle near the entrance of your business or beside your register San Martín Caballero works best when he is positioned where customers come in and money changes hands.
