A kindergarten child attends a lantern festival to celebrate upcoming Saint Martin’s day at the Auer-Welsbach park in Vienna, Austria on November 8, 2023. Children in many parts of Europe, particularly German-speaking regions, traditionally celebrate the St Martin's Day on November 11 with a lantern procession with self-made paper lampions and sometimes also a bonfire and a St Martin's horse to commemorate St Martin of Tours (Martin le Misericordieux), who is known for cutting with his sword his cloak in half to share with a beggar in the depth of winter.
