Lantern Walk Saint Martin

Who was Saint Martin?

Saint Martin was a man who lived in Europe a long time ago. He is known for a good deed: while riding his horse, he saw a beggar who was freezing. Saint Martin shared his warm coat with the beggar to help him.

We celebrate Saint Martin to remember this kind act. Especially in Germany, on November 11th, there are lantern processions where children sing and carry lights to symbolize the goodness in the world. It's a time to help others and be kind, just like Saint Martin did.
