St. Martin's

Every year that Luna has been in school, we have joined her classmates and their families on a cold night out for a walk with lanterns, to celebrate St. Martin's day.  This year Luna got to be in the play, because she is a "Vorschulekind."


Tess was bundled up!



Some of the lanterns, and yes, these paper lanterns all have real candles burning in them.


The priest getting ready to bless the event.



All the kids watching the Vorschulekind play or "Spiel."


Luna was thrilled to be selected as a pony, with her very own Ritter (rider or knight.)





Guess her Ritter also doubled as Batman when needed.




Luna's line: "Jedes Jahr um diese Zeit, Halten wir unsere Laternen bereit!" (Every year at this time, We hold our lanterns ready! - Doesn't rhyme in English...)  She did a good job saying it nice and slow, and LOUD.  I didn't anticipate the microphone when I told her to say it as loud as she could...
