Martinmas

20/10/2015

​Martinmas is well known as San Martin and is well remembered for the bags full of fruit and nuts we used to receive. Martinmas however is more about compassion and generosity, reflected in the story of St Martin, who shared his cloak with a beggar. The light of Martinmas, represented by a candle in a lantern, strengthens our spirit for the dark winter.

We decided to do a lantern walk in Buskett valley.  Each family made their own lanterns with glass jars, coloured paper and some decorations, and prepared a few short verses to sing along the way.

During this month, each family focused on community service by giving donations to orphanages in light of the spirit of generosity.
