Laternenfest

On November 8th, 2019,  Kinderschule celebrates Saint Martin's Day or Laternenfest. Please see information in our flyer below. If attending, please enter from Wilton Street where the Kinderschule sign is placed and you can’t miss it.

In Germany, the celebration of Laternenfest is held every November 11th. It commemorates Saint Martin of Tours, a soldier who became a bishop and an advocate for the poor. Children make their own lantern (often from kits) and go door to door singing St. Martin songs. They even get candy for it like our Halloween. The highlight of the evening is the singing lantern procession.

It’s the same for us! O
ur Celebration Hall will be host to traditional German Glühwein, German beer, with sausage-and-bun dinner after the procession. There are also snacks and children’s drinks for all. We will show some of our Kinderschule songs and have a short puppet show on Saint Martin. Come promptly before we head out for our Lantern walk! (We head north on Dorchester St, and shouldn't be hard to spot.)

Well 2020 was a unique year, so it was a smaller procession inside our gym. The lack of streetlights made our lanterns seem all the brighter!
