November Holidays - Part 2

In Germany, kids celebrate St.Martin's Day by walking in a town parade while singing songs & carrying homemade lanterns.  Here is Benjamin & friend with the lanterns they made in school.

The story of St. Martin captured Benjamin's attention. Benjamin & Rene sang the songs & acted out the story several times.  I wish I could post the videos, but the files are to large.

St. Martin was riding on a horse on a cold winters day.  He came across a homeless man that was freezing.  He got down off his horse and used his sword to cut his coat/cloak in half, giving the homeless man some thing to keep him warm.
