November 11 and St. Martin’s Day still seems a long way ahead, however in schools all over Germany children are already making their lanterns for the St. Martinstag processions which will take place not only on that date, but also on many of the days before.

St. Martin’s Day in Germany, the story and traditions, is the subject for this week’s articles.
