Two twin sisters, one celebration: St. Martin's Day joy in Himmelkron!
On St. Martin's Day, November 11th, 2025, we will report on twin sisters from Himmelkron and the traditional celebrations.
Two twin sisters, one celebration: St. Martin's Day joy in Himmelkron!
Today, November 11, 2025, the feast of Saint Martin is celebrated in many regions of Europe. In Himmelkron there are two reasons to be happy: two twin sisters who work together in the Lanzendorf baking paradise not only celebrate this special day, but also share everything with each other, even their husbands, both of whom are called Michael. This not only makes hearts beat faster, but also expresses a special connection on this day. These St. Martin customs are characterized by sharing happiness, which the twin sisters embody perfectly.
The feast of St. Martin is an important date in the calendar in many European regions as it marks the transition from harvest season to the winter months. Traditionally, a roast goose is served on this day, a custom that goes back to a legend: St. Martin is said to have once hidden among geese to avoid his episcopal consecration. People know that on this day you not only spend a festive evening with family and friends, but also remember the treasures that sharing brings. Eating together is often combined with celebration and reflection on one's own blessings, as Wikipedia notes.
Traditions and customs
In many regions, such as the Rhineland, it is customary to hold torchlight processions and light high fires on the eve of St. Martin. These events, often accompanied by children holding lanterns, are not only a visual feast but also promote a sense of community. Songs are sung while you spend the evening in a cozy atmosphere. The tradition of eating geese on Martinmas is also widespread and symbolizes a rich conclusion to the harvest and preparation for the cold season.
In Himmelkron, where the twins celebrate their special day, this traditional goose is prepared with a lot of love. The smell of freshly roasted poultry wafts through the streets and you can see the neighbors happily sharing with one another. The double cake or other delicacies baked by the two sisters in the baking paradise add to the festive atmosphere.
A celebration of community
St. Martin's Day also reminds us of the importance of community and relationships. The twin sisters show us that it's not just about the food, but about the joy we share with our loved ones. Whether it's the sweets for the children at the lantern parades or the big goose on the table - the values of sharing and community are always at the forefront.
Traditionally, this day was also a time for slaughtering livestock for winter supplies. So when we think of St. Martin, we think of warmth, cosiness and lots of good mood that will accompany us through the cold season. The twins from Himmelkron embody this spirit perfectly by participating in happy exchanges and hearty laughter.
With this in mind, we wish everyone a happy and sociable St. Martin's Festival. Strengthened by the traditions and the wonderful stories we experience on this day, we are ready to welcome the coming times with open arms.
