About St. Martin's Day

St. Martin's Day, or Martinstag, is a traditional cultural celebration in Germany honoring Saint Martin of Tours. Children participate in evening lantern processions, singing traditional songs as they walk through their neighborhoods. The celebration is often accompanied by festive foods, such as roasted goose, and symbolizes themes of charity and sharing.
