St martin's days

in Germany, 11 november is "St. Martin's Day". On this evening, lots of children get together with self-made lanterns and walk through the city. At their head, St. Martin rides ahead on horseback and everyone sings songs. Later, the parents can drink mulled wine and the children get to pet the horse. I loved it so much back then in the dark with all the lanterns :) (The picture shows me (left) at almost 4 years old and my older sister)
