People in historical costumes lead geese during a procession of Saint Martin of Tours on a white horse on the medieval Charles Bridge in Prague, Czech Republic, 11 November 2025. It is a symbolic reminder of the legend that Saint Martin was once betrayed by the cackling of geese when he hid in a barn to avoid being chosen as a bishop and that is why people traditionally eat goose on St. Martin's Day. The arrival of Saint Martin of Tours on a white horse is a folk tradition associated with St. Martin's Day on 11 November. According to legend, Saint Martin arrives on his white horse to announce the coming of winter and the first snowfall. (Photo by Martin Divisek/EPA)
