St. Martin, St. Martin
We celebrated St. Martin's feast day today by lighting all our lanterns and singing Martinmas songs. Unfortunately, it was too wet and rained too hard to go for a lantern walk. During German class this afternoon, I showed videos on how Germans celebrate St. Martin to my students.
Heute haben wir St. Martin gefeiert. Wir haben alle unsere Laternen angezündet und Laternenlieder gesungen. Leider war es zu naß und zu stark geregnet, um auch mit den Laternen einen kleinen Umzug zu machen. Im Unterricht habe ich meinen Studenten Videos über St. Martin und die Umzüge dazu gezeigt.

Those lanterns are just lovely. I had every intention of making a lantern but clean forgot. I love that feast reminding us to kindle our flame within and hold the light steady, it is much needed right now xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, San. We did not make new ones, but got out all our old ones. These are ones from past years. Yes, Martinmas, Lucia, and Advent bring light into our lives. Light we all need!
