\"\"<\/a>11th November, Saint Martin in Venice<\/h2>\n

11th November marks a\u00a0traditional feast spread throughout Veneto<\/a> <\/strong>to celebrate Saint Martin of Tours<\/strong>, one of the most popular Saints in Europe since the Middle Ages, whose funeral was held on 11th November 397<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ancient rural traditions<\/strong> are the foundations of this occasion, which was included in Christian feasts and gave life to many popular practices<\/strong>: during these days of the year, farmers celebrated the end of the works in the fields, drinking young wines and eating roast chestnuts<\/strong>. Today, on Venetian tables (but not only), the protagonist is the short pastry dessert depicting Saint Martin on horseback<\/strong>, wielding a sword and wearing a cloak. It can be decorated with sugar icing or covered with chocolate and garnished with confections, sugared almonds and sweets. Find out how to prepare it with the original recipe<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The church dedicated to Saint Martin<\/strong> is located in Castello district, not far away from the Arsenale<\/a><\/strong>, and it is considered one of the most ancient ones in Venice. The current building dates back to the sixteenth century and it was designed by architect<\/strong> Jacopo Sansovino<\/strong>. The church protected some of the relics of the Saint<\/strong>, such as a piece of his tunic, a phalange and a tibia. This latter was then donated to Scuola di San Giovanni Evangelista<\/strong><\/a> which, every year on 11th November, is obliged to take it back to the church of Saint Martin with a procession. A tradition which faded away after the fall of the Republic of Venice.<\/p>\n
