Saint Martin's Day (Martinje), 

Zagreb, Croatia

11 Nov 2010  

Wine and Catholicism come together on Saint Martin's Day, which falls at the end of the wine-growing season. On this day, ritual feasts are held, in which the traditional dish is roast goose. The new season's wine is blessed in ceremonies which are often quite elaborate, taking the form of a 'christening' in which the expected cast of characters - godfather, priest and so forth - is present. Martinje festivities take place in the capital and in the vineyard towns and municipalities of Zagreb County.
