The objective of the article is to present some selected symptoms of the cult and memory in Poland of St. Martin, one of the most popular saints in the Church sometimes referred to as the thirteenth apostle. The saint is depicted through his presence in the liturgy, in his patronage over the temples, streets and brotherhoods, in the popularity of his name, in the names of places, pilgrimages, arts, in connection with bells, in his presence in hagiographic legends and sermons, and in relation of the saint with economic cycle, i.e. with the dates of paying tributes. The recalled places of cult and memory are a specific research questionnaire which may be applied while analysing the figure of Saint Martin. Undoubtedly, the picture is not complete. Saint Martin is one of the most popular saints. And it is worth mentioning that the cult of Saint Martin is one of the oldest in Poland; it was especially dynamic in the Middle Ages, from the 13th to 15th centuries. In the subsequent centuries it was still alive. A distinctive feature of the cult has always been its relation with liturgy and economy.
