St. Martin's Day: A Czech Tradition Celebrated with Roast Goose
St. Martin's Day is celebrated every year on November 11 and is associated with several charming traditions in Czech culture. One of the most famous is the saying "Martin přijíždí na bílém koni", which translates as "St. Martin arrives on a white horse."
But what does it actually mean? This traditional Czech saying refers to the first snowfall of the season, which often arrives around November 11. The white horse symbolises the snow covering the landscape in a beautiful white blanket, marking the transition from autumn to winter. While the weather does not always follow the old saying, it remains a much-loved part of Czech folklore and a reminder of the country's seasonal traditions.
St. Martin's Day is also closely connected with St. Martin's wine and, above all, a festive roast goose dinner. But do you know why goose became the symbol of St. Martin's Day celebrations? According to one popular folk legend, St. Martin was so modest that he did not want to become a bishop and tried to hide among a flock of geese. However, their loud honking gave away his hiding place. Another version of the story suggests that the geese disturbed him while he was preaching, and so they ended up becoming the traditional centrepiece of the festive table. Whatever the true origins of this tradition, one thing is certain: St. Martin's Day is a wonderful opportunity to gather with family and friends and enjoy a delicious seasonal feast.
