Thursday, 11-11-2010 Laterne-Parade

Much larger than last year's parade in Westchester Woods ;-), this year's parade in Laudenbach was led by a rider with a red cape (representing St. Martin, a roman soldier who gave half of his cape to a beggar), followed by a small marching band and then all the children of our village's only elementary school and the three preschools. In spite of some rain and cold temperatures we sang and walked through the village to our school where a big fire pit with colorful flames and sweet bread men waited for the children.
