About St Martin’s Day

Martinstag is named after St. Martin of Tours, a Roman warrior who turned into a priest in the wake of being purified through water as a grown-up. He was in the long run made a holy person by the Catholic Church for being a kind man who cut his shroud down the middle to impart to a bum amid a snowstorm. In numerous parts of Germany it is conventional for youngsters to take an interest in a parade of paper lights in recognition of St. Martin. They make their own particular little lights in school or kindergarten and afterward accumulate on city avenues to sing tunes about great old Marty and their lamps.

Regularly a man dressed as St. Martin with a since quite a while ago red shroud drives the motorcade on horseback. It's authoritatively a Catholic occasion, yet lately the lamp parades have turned out to be far reaching even in Protestant territories of Germany. So simply like Santa Claus has little to do with the introduction of Christ, nowadays St. Martin Day's is most likely better known for the iridescent parade than the principled history.

On the off chance that you have children, you'll most likely go through the night outside with a cluster of different guardians and their kids. You'll be seen up with relighting the tea candles in those fiddly little lamps with frosty, firm fingers, and getting dry youngsters' tears on the grounds that, as annoying it is for the children, paper lights lit by candles tend to burst into flames rapidly.
