Laternenumzug (Walking with Lanterns) is a German tradition every St. Martin's Day. On 11 November children walk along the streets holding colourful, often self-made lanterns usually in kindergarten and elementary school age.

Legend has it that St. Martin, a soldier, gave a beggar the half of his soldier's coat to protect the man from freezing to death. Afterwards St. Martin became a bishop in order to help poor people.

During Laternenumzug children often sing Martinslieder / Martinilieder ('Martin songs') that glorify St. Martin's act of sharing or songs about lanterns. The ways often lead through forests so that the lanterns are the only sources of light.

Laternenumzug is a symbolic act of 'bringing light into the world'
