About this holiday
Saint Martin's Day (Martinmas) is celebrated on November 11, marking the feast day of Saint Martin of Tours. Historically, it signified the end of the harvest and the start of winter festivities. Traditions involved feasting, consuming the first wine of the season, and participating in practices such as mumming. In certain regions (Germanic/Dutch-speaking), processions with lanterns or bonfires were also associated with the holiday.
