 马丁内斯

Paul King

自1918年以来,人们更熟悉的是停战日,11月11日也是圣马丁节或马丁节,这是一个基督教节日,以纪念4世纪的圣马丁的死亡和埋葬。

圣马丁因对一个醉酒的乞丐慷慨解囊而闻名,他与乞丐分享自己的斗篷,是乞丐、醉汉和穷人的守护神。 由于他的节日正好是欧洲的葡萄酒收获季节,他也是葡萄酒种植者和旅馆老板的守护神。

由于马丁节正好是收获的季节,在中世纪,这是一个盛宴的时刻,以庆祝秋天的结束和冬季准备的开始。 马丁节的牛肉是在这个时候宰杀的牛用盐腌制的,以保存过冬。 传统上,鹅和牛肉是庆祝活动的首选肉类,还有一些食物,如黑巧克力。布丁和羊杂碎。

苏格兰的法定年分为四个期限和季度:烛光节、圣灵节、兰玛节和马丁节。 在这些日子里,会有仆人被雇用,租金到期,合同开始或结束。 因此,传统上,马丁节也是招聘会的时间,农业工人和农场工人会在会上寻求就业。

最著名的马丁节集市之一是在诺丁汉,它曾经持续了8天,人们从欧洲各地来到这里进行交易和会面。

奇怪的是,与圣斯威逊节一样,这一天也与天气预报有关,其中许多预报涉及鸭子或鹅,这是图尔的圣马丁的象征之一。 传说圣马丁在试图避免被任命为主教时,躲在一个鹅圈里,结果被鹅的叫声出卖了。 在欧洲,许多人仍然用烤鹅晚餐来庆祝马丁节。

根据民间传说,如果圣马丁日的天气很暖和,那么接下来就是严冬;反之,如果马丁日的天气很冰冷,那么到了圣诞节就会暖和很多:
