The Laternenumzug is a lantern parade held on St. Martin's Day (November 11th) in Germany, especially for children. Kids make colorful lanterns and walk through the streets in a parade, singing traditional songs. The event honors St. Martin, known for his kindness, and the procession symbolizes light and warmth. Afterward, people enjoy treats like sweet bread and hot drinks. It's a festive and community-focused celebration marking the start of Advent.
