Nothing to do with #stmartinsday except it involves a monk, though the monk in this story did not share his cloak with a beggar.
This is a retelling of a 1891 German novel/folktale. Brother Ambrosius, a Franciscan monk, takes an interest in a young woman who is shunned by the townsfolk, much to the disapproval of the monk‘s superiors.
