  1. Feast of St Martin in Malta Kindergarten Ms.Vella

  2. The story of Saint Martin • While Martin was a soldier in the Roman army and deployed in Gaul, he experienced a vision. One day as he was approaching the gates of the city of Amiens, he met a beggar. He impulsively cut his military cloak in half to share with the man. • That night, Martin dreamed of Jesus wearing the half-cloak he had given away. He heard Jesus say to the angels: "Here is Martin, the Roman soldier who is not babtized;hehas clad me."

  3. Maltese tradition (Bag of Saint Martin) • A big simple colourful cloth bag pulled with a string on top called "il-borżata' San Martin", was placed near the children bedside, full of hard shelled almonds ("lewż"), walnuts ("ġewż"), chestnuts ("qastan"), figs ("tin"), apples ("tuffieħ"), oranges ("larinġ"), tangerines ("mandolina"), pomegranates ("rummien"), San Martin bun ("ħbejżata' San Martin"), hard glazed on top and with a liquored sweet ("perlinatas-sugu"), stuck  in the middle of the bun.
