   Share Share Post

   Saint Martin's day is kept on the eleventh of November. The feast is kept in many ways. It is a custom with most of the people to kill fowl for that day, and to make the sign of (that) the Cross on their foreheads with the blood of the fowl.

   Another custom also is to sprinkle the blood of the fowl on the doors. Saint Martin's day is a holiday of Obligation in America and France but not in Ireland. He is called St. Martin of Tours.
