About this event
The Children's Lantern Parade
A German tradition celebrating St. Martin's Day at the Christkindlmarket Wrigleyville
Christkindlmarket Wrigleyville | December 11| 5:00pm - 7:00pm
In November, German children celebrate St. Martin's Day by carrying lanterns around outside after dark and singing traditional songs. A bit like "trick or treating", the children are rewarded for their singing and the beauty of their lanterns with sweets and other goodies - in the spirit of the holiday season of sharing and giving.
Just like the children in Germany, the kids can enjoy a Lantern Parade at the beautiful Christkindlmarket. The Christkind will stroll with the children around the Christkindlmarket while carrying a lantern and singing songs in English and in German. After the Parade each of the children will receive a goody-bag.
The Story behind the Lantern Parade
Initially, the Lantern Parade took place on St. Martin's day in November to honor St. Martin who was a soldier who lived in the fourth century AD. He was known for his goodwill and Samaritan deeds. His most famous deed was cutting his winter coat in half with his sword and sharing it with a poor man who was barely clothed on a freezing cold night.
