We celebrated Saint Martin also called Martinmas.
This following is from Wikipedia describing who St. Martin is:
"The most famous legend of his life is that he once cut his cloak in half to share with a beggar during a snowstorm, to save the beggar from dying from the cold. That night he dreamed that Jesus was wearing the half-cloak. Martin heard Jesus say to the angels: "Here is Martin, the Roman soldier who is not baptised; he has clothed me.""
For our homeschool group we started our day with the kiddos having their classes. Followed by tons of outdoor playing. Circle time with poems and songs. The children then acted out the story of St. Martin using beautifully crafted wooden characters. We ate an amazing lunch together. Crafted our wooden lanterns. Had another amazing meal. Followed by a full moon latern walk!
