St. Martin's Day

Growing up in Germany, we made lanterns for St. Martin's Day each year, put a tea light in them, and went for a walk at night singing songs.
Our homeschool curriculum celebrates festivals throughout the year.
St. Martin's Day is on November 11 each year. It is the story of the Roman soldier Martin, who cut his cloak in two to help a beggar, and then out down his armor and became a servant of Christ.
The kids love the story. We made our lanterns this year and took the kids on a walk.






Katharine was in dance class, and Kassidy had to be carried through the neighborhood.
