Mārtiņa dienā

We took part at the celebrations of Mārtiņa dienā at Friday evening and at Saturday. It was an absolute new experience for us, because in our country we don't use to celebrate Martin's day. At Friday evening we took part at the handicraft activities, and after then we organized a mini orientation for the children. At Saturday we danced Martiņa dienā's dances and we sang traditional songs with the children. We had also our handmade masks.

Martin dienā symbolizes the end of the autumn and the beginning of winter.
