S. Martins Day in Portugal- 11th of November- Pré-Primary School
St. Martin’s day is celebrated on the 11th November.
A legend says, when a Roman knight was going the rounds, he saw an old beggar who was hungry and cold because of being almost naked. It was a rainy cold day and the old man was wet.
The knight, whose name was Martin, was very kind and felt like helping poor people. On meeting that beggar he was deeply moved and cut his mantle in two with his sword. Then he gave the beggar one half of the mantle and left.
Sometime later it stopped raining and a beautiful sun was shining in the sky.
Roasted chestnuts are sold on the streets in little pushcarts with ovens; in villages people meet and taste the new wine called “água-pé”; at schools teachers and students celebrate that day as well roasting chestnuts in a fire and putting them in paper bags.

Leiria - Nearby Locations
To the south of Leiria is the famous Monastery of Batalha dated from the 14th Century. To the east are Fátima and Tomar both of which are very interesting to visitors, the first as a religious shrine and the second for its impressive historical content. For visitors to this area it is recommended that you visit Ourém, a medieval town that lies just to the northeast of Fátima.
This town has a 15th Century castle and in the church is the impressive tomb of Afonso, the grandson of Nuno Alves Pereira, the saviour in the Battle of “Aljubarrota" fought in 1385.
To the north is the smaller town of Pombal mainly associated with the influential 18th Century Portuguese courtier Marquês de Pombal who was forced by his enemies to retire here in disgrace. Again overlooking this town is another impressive castle dating from the 12th Century when it was constructed by the Order of the Knights Templar. In Pombal there is a small museum devoted to the history of its once powerful master. Between the town and the coast is the vast pine forest planted by Dom Dinis to provide an ample supply of wood for the construction of his naval vessels. A long sandy shoreline and the popular holiday resort of São Pedro de Moel edge this forest.
Leiria - History
The Romans named the town Collipo and it was later also occupied by the Moors. Dom Afonso Henriques retook it in the 12th Century and it is recorded that in 1254 Dom Afonso III held the first form of parliament in Portuguese history to be attended by laymen. The Portuguese King Dom Dinis rebuilt in the 14th Century castle that acts as a crown over the town and turning it into a royal residence for himself and his Queen, Isabel de Aragon.
City - Leiria - Portugal
The town is quite charming with small homes over archways and behind graceful arcades. As a reminder of its ancient history there is the 12th Century Church, Igreja de São Pedro. The town was declare
d an Episcopal City in 1545 and the Cathedral is from that same period. The high vaulted nave leads the visitor to the altarpiece with a chancel work by Simões Rodrigues painted in 1605. Across from the castle there is a 18th Century staircase that ascends to the 16th Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Encarnação.
