Here is a little blurb about it - The fest day, is November 11, the feast day of St. Martin of Tours, who started out as a Roman soldier. He was baptized as an adult and became a monk. It is understood that he was a kind man who led a quiet and simple life. 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 of the cold. That night he dreamed that Jesus was wearing the half-cloak Martin had given away.
Nick made a latern with his kindergarden class and joined in the festivites. All the lanterns were lit with REAL candles. Imagine the fire hazard? The ceremony was filled with children singing, a little dance and even St. martin coming in on horse back demonstarting his legondary act of kindness.
Sweet evening for the family.
This video shows Nick's lantern. I stood pretty close to him without him knowing it. Didn't hear much sound coming out of his mouth, But he told me he was tired of singing at that point=)
