The church in the center of Hillesheim has as its patron saint one of the most famous saints in the rich history of the church: Saint Martin. Given this beautiful church, it is pointless to speculate which of the numerous saints venerated in the Catholic (and partly also in the Protestant) Church holds the highest place in the hearts of children:
+ Could it be Saint Martin (Bishop of Tours), under whose time-honored patronage this church was placed, who served as a soldier in the Roman army before his calling; and whose generous sharing of his cloak with the poor beggar is still commemorated today in lantern processions on his feast day (November 11th).
+ Or perhaps it is more likely Saint Nicholas (Bishop of Myra), who, as is well known, bestows his gifts on the good children in the run-up to Christmas on the eve of his feast day (December 6th).
