The date of the day of remembrance offered in the Roman general calendar, which is also found in the Orthodox calendar of saints, the Protestant calendar of names and the Anglican Common Worship, is from the burial of Bishop Martin von Tours on November 11, 397. Martin’s Day is characterized by numerous customs in Central Europe , including the Martinsgansessen, the Martinszug and the Martinsingen.
