Lantern March

Last night Christopher went on his first 'Laternenumzug', a children's ritual to welcome the fall. They march around the town with paper lanterns, singing a special lantern song. None of the adults present were le to tell me what it meant (except that it must be part of the German Leitkultur, something like Currywurst, I guess ";->"), but a search on Google revealed that it has something to do with St. Martin's Day.
