Martinmas Eve
Martinmas Eve is the evening before St Martin’s Day. Many Danes eat roast duck or goose on this evening. According to the legend, Martin was revealed by some geese when he modestly hid to avoid becoming a bishop. He therefore decided that every year on this day, 11 November, the geese must lose their lives to be eaten.
THE CHRISTMAS MONTH
The whole month of December is dominated by Christmas. In most towns, the main shopping streets are decorated with fir garlands and lights.
