St. Martin's Feast

St. Martin was born in 316 as Martin of Tours. His father was a pagan Roman officer in the Roman province of Upper Pannonia (today's Hungary) and he made Martin into a soldier when he was barely fifteen years old. Legend has it that Martin met a half-naked poor man begging for money on the street one dark cold night. Martin had no coins to give but wishing to protect the man from the elements, he tore his cloak in half and gave the beggar one part. Next night Christ Himself appeared to Martin, dressed in this half-cloak. Martin was so impressed by this sight that he got baptized on Easter 399 and devoted his life to God. He had to wait another 15 years before being released from the army with the rank of an officer. In 372 he became Bishop of Tours but continued to live a modest monk's life in a cottage near Loire River - on site of the future Marmoutier Abbey. St. Martin died in 397 aged 81 in Candes near Tours. He is patron Saint of soldiers, horses, riders, geese and winemakers. He is mostly pictured seated on a horse with half of his cloak and with a beggar.

St. Martin's Feast has traditional been one of the most popular ones in the year. This day marked the arrival of the first snow but also a full-blown feast. St. Martin's wine tradition can be traced back to the imperial court of Emperor Joseph II. where it was customary to toast St. Martin with the new wine of the year. On this day the seasonal service of winemakers at larger farms ended. They negotiated terms for the next season over a glass of first wine from the autumn harvest and while enjoying seasonal delicacies.

A well-fed roast goose usually served with a bread or potato dumpling and red cabbage is a traditional meal of this Feast. There are two legends explaining the goose dish. According to one legend, geese were disturbing St. Martin's sermon with their cackle and as punishment they end up in the roasting pan. According to another, Martin was so modest that he hid in a goose pen to avoid being ordained as bishop but geese betrayed him with loud cackling. Traditional dishes of St. Martin's Feast include pointed rolls filled with poppy seeds or plum jam paired with new wine, red or white which goes well with Bohemian specialties. St. Martin's Feast continues to be celebrated as a day of good food and wine.
