St.Martin's Day Parade Was Celebrated In Utrecht
On November 10th 2018 in Utrecht, Netherlands. As soon it gets dark, children up to the age of 11 or 12 go door to door with hand-crafted lanterns made of hollowed-out sugar beet or, more recently, paper, singing songs such as "Sinte Sinte Maarten," hoping to receive candy in return, similar to Halloween. St.Martin's Day (Sint Maarten) is an old harvest festival that is celebrated in many European countries and precedes the fasting period of Advent, which begins on November 12. It is named after St. Martin of Tours, a revered European saint who was known for his kindness to strangers. (Photo by Romy Arroyo Fernandez/NurPhoto)
