We celebrated the Lantern Festival with Rana's daycare this evening.
Tomorrow is St. Martin's Day, which used to mark the the end
of autumn and the beginning of a 40-day period of fasting.
The holiday isn't celebrated much these days, but just about
every daycare and preschool in Germany marks the
Eve of St. Martin with Lantern Festival and procession through town.
Rana had a great time with her pals Mattis, Jana, and Alana as well as her teacher, Ingrid.
She was very proud of her lantern and quite taken by all of the others!
She sang along with the songs, too.
As always, she had a great time playing on the playground,
especially on the swings!
