Martinisingen (Germany)

Martinisingen is an old Protestant custom which is found especially in East Friesland, but also on the Lüneburg Heath and in other parts of Northern and Eastern Germany. It also goes under the names of Martini or Martinssingen and the Low German names of Sünnematten or Mattenherrn. Martinisingen takes place on 10 November with groups of people carrying their lanterns from house to house and singing traditional songs.
