Autumn feasts of France: La Saint-Martin

From "L'inventaire des fêtes de France d'hier et aujourd'hui"

La Saint-Martin (in English Martinmas), celebrated on the 11th of November, used to mark the end of the agricultural work and the beginning of winter in Europe. On this day, there were autumn fairs in the countryside. A thanksgiving mass was organized, followed by a heavy meal centered around a goose dish. It was during this meal that the new wine was tasted (in France there was a verb based on Martin's name, meaning "to drink the new wine": "martiner"). Just like Halloween, another celebration of this time period, Saint-Martin was, in northern France and in Germany, a day during which groups of children with lanterns walked around the town, to conjure away the dangers of the days shortening. Nowadays, the 11th of November is the day of the 1918 Armistice.

Saint Martin (the person) was famous all across Europe, and gave his name to numerous villages. More than three thousand churches and chapels in France are dedicated to him. Born in 316 in Pannonia (current Hungary), saint Martin was part of the Roman army. A famous episode of his life is how he split his coat in two, to share it with a poor man who was cold, near Amiens (in the Somme region). The following night, he dreamed that the man was actually the Christ in disguise. Converted to Christianity, he was baptized in 356 and became priest under the bishop of Poitiers, saint Hilaire. Martin founded the Ligugé abbey (in Vienna) and was elected bishop of Tours in 372. He died at Candes (Indres-et-Loire region) in 397 - his grave is still a very popular place of pilgrimage.

Martinmas was a celebration surrounded by numerous autumn traditions, and evoking the fact that the granaries and cellars were full. For example, a thanksgiving meal was organized to thank God for the harvest (or, in more pagan ways, to celebrate the harvest god). This tradition was maintained in America with the Thanksgiving celebration - when American families gather on the last Thursday of November to eat a turkey. In Dunkerque, the evening of Martinmas, children organized a procession, holding lanterns while walking behind saint Martin riding his donkey. According to the legend, children were rewarded for finding back the lost donkey of the saint - said reward took the form of pastries placed during the night on the doorway of houses, and known as "donkey poop".

"It is easy to understand why wisdom is a folly in the eyes of the world; it is because it shows by our own experience that the world is a folly by its side; for where is there a seeker after truth, however ardent, who has not delayed by the way, and has afterwards regarded himself as a fool when he has resumed the path of wisdom?"

Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin
