ST. MARTIN’S DAY in Schoenberg-Berlin
at 5:00 PM -St. Matthias Church in Schoenberg neighborhood, Berlin. ( Sunset was at 4:20)
I saw the announcement on Sunday
The church bells rang out for more than 5 minutes.
First there was a little play telling the story of St. Martin and singing hymns about St. Martin.
THE congregation filled with children went outside to follow St.Martin riding on the horse. A companion horse trotted behind. The children carried paper lanterns, some with candles but many with tiny LED or flashlight or tealights inside. More singing and walking in the procession to Winterfeld Platz.

Berlin Landmark Reminder
Gedächtniskirche.
Berlin Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church built in 1895.
Peek at the results of war- WW2 bombing raid.
“The Gedächtniskirche or Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church is the symbolic centre of West Berlin, an anti-war memorial to peace and reconciliation.“
And note the rapid weather change from the front of the church- sun and blue sky to sudden gray, rainy sky as we walked around to the back.
Lebkuchen Ice Cream
An unexpected and delicious discovery. I didn’t know there was such a flavor. And the very best of lebkuchen from Nuremberg -it was, incorporated in the ice cream. The plum ice cream had bits of plum in it and went well as a contrast in the double scoop.
