- St Martins Day is on the eleventh of November. St Martin was a great fisherman.
None of the fishermen go out to fish on St Martins night. St Martin was ground up in a mill. In olden times Millers would not mill on St Martins Day. People kill something on the eve of St Martins and sprinkle the blood out side the door in honour of St Martin.
