Reportage exclusif au sein de la Garde Suisse Pontificale

On November 11, we will celebrate the feast of Saint Martin, one of the patron saints of the Pontifical Swiss Guard. A Roman soldier turned monk, Saint Martin is known for his act of charity: sharing his cloak with a frozen beggar. This gesture symbolizes dedication, fraternity, and faith lived in service—values ​​deeply shared by the Swiss Guard. On this occasion, we offer you a unique report from the heart of the smallest army in the world. The one whose vocation is unique: to protect the Holy Father. You will discover the journey of two halberdiers: their commitment, the place of faith in their mission, their demanding training, and the vocation that leads them to serve the Holy Father to the point of giving their lives for him. Through their testimonies, a whole tradition of discipline, fidelity, and spirituality is revealed, in the tradition of Saint Martin, a model of service and self-sacrifice.
