n Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, St Martin's Eve is celebrated on the evening of 10 November, mainly in West Flanders and around Ypres. Children go through the streets with paper lanterns and candles, and sing songs about St Martin. Sometimes, a man dressed as St Martin rides on a horse in front of the procession. In Wervik, children go from door to door, singing traditional "Séngmarténg" songs, sporting a hollow beetroot with a carved face and a candle inside called "Bolle Séngmarténg"; they gather at an evening bonfire.
Ahh tyes there is nothing I love more than singing traditional "Séngmarténg" songs and the carving of the beetroot. This holiday has been ruined by the "xmas"secularization of culture factor and no longer do children sing joyful saint marteen carols
and the last time I went "Wasailing" someone called the cops on me and not one door I knocked on was willing to listen to a song nor fill my yuletime mug with spiced wine. -

2024-09-30 at 3:24 PM UTCwe must #ReturnToTradition by celebrating the traditional st marteeens day with the horse hats, carved beets, going door to door singing carols for candy and the evening bonfire and goose and this entire season similar to Zaint Zattex day will be celebrated from September-November 11th where many beets and pumpkins will be carved and many processions in the streets will be had and it will be a joyous harvest time where the secularization of this time of year will be pulled out and returned to our traditional white culture and we will stand in solidarity with Flanders and Ypres 🏇🏽🕊️👻⛪🔥🥘🎃🐎🍂🍬🦇
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints%27_DayMartinmas Tradition Throughout the World:
Now, because that Gick-gack-lay
For centuries, Christians from Estonia to Spain, Sweden to Italy, have commemorated the soldier who shared his wealth with the poor. In Germany, children make lanterns and parade through the streets, singing songs. The lanterns shining in the dark are often interpreted as symbolizing the light of Christ, a particularly appropriate image for the beginning of the Nativity Fast. Traditionally the lanterns were carved out of newly harvested squash gourds, and illuminated with a candle—the origin of our jack-o-lantern—but can also be made of paper or jars. St Martin is a beloved Saint celebrated throughout the world and is known for his merciful compassion on the needy. St. Martin's Day is celebrated on November 11th in the West and November 12th in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Did this Holy Man bewray,
Goose in pen and goose on grass
Need beware of Martin-Mass.
Silly flock, the poulterer’s knife
Seeketh for to take your life.
How to Organize a Martinmas Lantern Walk:
(1) Choose a time and location and invite friends to join you! Either plan to make the lanterns together or plan to bring your own to the walk. After each Martinmas walk, we organized a dessert potluck and warm beverages like hot chocolate and hot cider, so be sure to coordinate your fellowship time afterwards too! St. Martin's Day is celebrated on November 11th in the West and November 12th in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
(2) Create a lantern! You can plan to make your own DIY lanterns using a recycled jar, paper, contact paper, or brown paper bag (see Pinterest for tons of ideas). We’ve made ours both with the paper machete/balloon method and we’ve done them with decorated mason jars. The possibilities are endless! just make sure you have a handle (either string or stick) and a tea light to go with it. Again, we’ve done real candles and electric ones in the past.
(3) Read the story of his life - We love “Snow on Martinmas” by Heather Sleightholm but you can also listen to "Saint Martin of Tours" from Saints: Lives and Illuminations, written by Ruth Sanderson, on the podcast “Reading from Under the Grapevine through Ancient Faith. Check out the November Printable featuring St Martin.
(4) Print and Distribute the song document (you can print it up from HERE) - During the walk, we would sing the “Saint Martin’s Day Song (Rabimmel, Rabammel, Rabumm)” and “This little light of mine” as we walked around. My fellow seminarian wife, Alisha Solheim, generously created this document last year (God Bless You) so now I can share it with you! You can listen to it in German for the tune HERE and find the lyrics translated into English HERE.
Saint Martin’s Day Song
(Rabimmel Rabammel Rabumm)
I walk at night with my lantern light,
and my lantern accompanies me.
The stars above twinkle oh so bright,
and here below twinkle we.
Our lights shine bright on St. Martin’s night,
Rabimmel, rabammel, rabumm.
A sea of light on St. Martin’s night,
Rabimmel, rabammel, rabumm. -
