Blessed Martinmas! I had such a busy day that I forgot about sharing this meme. #SaintMartinofTours #Martinmas #saints #orthodox #anglican #catholic

image of the saint in green with a brown cloak and red leggings; he has the sword with which he will divide his cloak to share with the beggar, who is kneeling and has lost a foot. St Martin looks on. Blog title: Singing to St Martin of Tours.

Today (Nov 11) is the feast of St Martin of Tours; to celebrate, I talk a bit about Martinmas customs and about the celebration of the Feast at Thalbach in Bregenz in 1595 in today's blog post

OLD HALLOWEEN/ST. MARTIN’S DAY
Old Halloween?
You mean like… another Halloween?! With lanterns!
Well, keep your Christmas decorations in the box, because Ol’ Turnip Head is out of his crypt for an extra day!

We have St Martin's on the Wall Church locally, a lovely little 1000 year old one room church, with a part fresco of Martin of Tour giving half his cloak to a beggar.

Not a peep: strange.

I have lit my lantern. Seek your inner light, today. Winter is coming. Happy #Martinmas.

For it is Martinmas – old Halloween – and the wintering of ghosts begins. Sun is so weakened the folk of St Martin's Land may leave their tunnels during the day. Green lanterns glow to show a home friendly to travellers from so far. Beggars take their feast. – #CLNolan #Martinmas
