Saint Martin’s Day

Every year on November 11, children and families across Germany gather to remember Saint Martin, known for his kindness and generosity. The story goes that Martin, a Roman soldier, saw a poor man shivering in the cold and shared his warm cloak with him. Inspired by his compassion, people today celebrate with lantern processions, songs, and bonfires, lighting up the night in remembrance of sharing and caring for one another. 🕯️💛
Our Year 1 learning partners and their parents came together today for a Saint Martin’s Day celebration. The learning partners performed the story of Saint Martin, sang the traditional songs, walked with their self-made lanterns through the school, and enjoyed delicious Martinsbrezeln. 🏮🥨🕯
We wish you all a wonderful Saint Martin’s Day! 🌟
