Celebrating a Halloween (a little bit)
So the Germans don't really get into Halloween- in fact they have here in Erfurt a totally different holiday, Reformationtag. It is to recognize the split from the Catholic Church by Lutheran and the beginning of the Reformation. Being in Thüringen, you're in the heart of the beginning of that monumental point in history- see Wartburg Castle in the earlier posts which is in Eisenach, Thüringen where Luther translated the Bible. So no Halloween parties to dress up and go to or any trick-or-treaters, what do Americans do? Well you can still buy pumpkins, so let's make so Jack o'Laterns! I joined the other Americans in Thüringen in the PPP and we carved some "sehr geil Jack o'Laterns". Anyway take a look...
