I would like to see a reference. Are said groups aware of the origins of the chaplain?<br /><br />We think the term comes from the story of St. Martin. He was a <b>soldier</b> at the gates of the city of Amiens with his soldiers when he met a scantily dressed beggar. He cut his own <b>military</b> cloak in half and shared it with the beggar. That night he dreamed of Jesus wearing the half-cloak Martin had given away. He heard Jesus say: "Here is Martin, the Roman <b>soldier</b> who is not baptised; he has clad me." (Sulpicius, ch 2). When Martin woke his cloak was restored, and the miraculous cloak was preserved as a relic. The building where St. Martin's cloak was preserved came to be known as the "capella", from the Latin word for cloak, "cappa"; and from "capella" is derived our word "chapel."<br /><br />Chaplain is derived from the original "cappellani" who were those who had charge of the sacred cloak of St. Martin: “custodes illius capae usque hodie Capellani appellanture.”Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.com
