Laterne Fest

This past week (Thursday in particular), the children here in Germany celebrated the Festival of the Lanterns (Laterne Fest). The story is told of how, on a cold winter's night during the middle ages, St. Martin saw a poor beggar.  He then cut his coat in half and gave half of it to the beggar.

Here's a short video of Aria, Nina, and Micah walking through the street with their lanterns and singing a familiar Lantern Festival song.  

(Sorry, I didn't do a good job centering them in the camera... but give me a break!

 I was walking backwards in the dark!)
