St. Martin of Tours is Taken into Heaven

1918
Church of St. Lawrence, Ahrweiler, Germany

As Caxton tells it in his translation of the Golden Legend:

As Severus, bishop of Cologne, on a Sunday after Matins, visited and went about the holy places, the same hour that St. Martin departed out of this world, he heard the angels singing in heaven. Then he called his archdeacon and … said: It is my Lord, St. Martin, which is departed out of the world, and the angels bear him now into heaven.
