St Martin's Day

This week we celebrated St. Martin's Day. At school Gracie and I made a latern she picked a pink pig. On Thursday evening we went to the church and they had a children's service, they did a play about St. Martin and sang songs. It was all in German so we did not understand a thing but it was fun. After we all went outside and the children put little lights in their laterns and we paraded down about 6 blocks following a man a horse that was dressed as St. Martin. At the school we all ate sugared pretzels and had hot cider around a bonfire. It was so much fun! I finally researched who St. Martin was and he was a man who helped the poor and dedicated himself to helping people. Here are few pictures from that evening.
