St.Maarten

 

This year we had children asking for candy on 11-11 on the door again (last year not because of the lockdown). First they had to sing a song about St Maarten from which the orginal text is dissappeared over time so everyone interprets that in their own way. Remarkable one of the girls about 7 (not on this photo) asked if we had also gluten free candy. Yes times are changing indeed.

The number of attendants far exceeded the number of children.

  2. I didn't know of this tradition.
    You were right about the columns by the door in yesterday's post. It was all added later. The whole building has been tarted up which was sad to see.

  3. What a great tradition involving children, lanterns, song, and candy. I was unaware of this celebration, but it makes good sense that the children were accompanied by their family. Hope everyone was safe from the pandemic.

  4. I didn't know of this tradition either but the kids look like they enjoyed it.

Because of some annoying messages I have to check the posts sent to my blog. No anonymous remarks, sorry for that.
