Martinmas is a favorite celebration in our family — full of wonder, ritual, and the beautiful reminder of the inner light within all of us. In the Waldorf tradition, Martinmas is a festival that celebrates empathy and kindness towards others, and the powerful spark of light in our hearts that glows brightly even as the days, deep into Autumn, grow darker. Even if you don’t celebrate Martinmas in your home, the symbolic warmth of lantern light is a wonderful way to connect with each other as the season slips into the crispness of fall days.
We are busy making lanterns this weekend in preparation for the festival in Nov.
