Schaap is a Dutch name and here is the story of Halloween in the Netherlands, Thanks Spanner, Meine Freund! We also have the Dutch to thank for the stock market and Heineken Beer.
In Nederland vieren we Sint Maarten op 11 november in plaats van Halloween.
St Martinus gave away all he possessed to help the poor, each child has his own decorated candlelight, and come singing one of the many songs about St Martinus and expect to get
some candy or fruit.
De laatste jaren proberen de winkels ons te verleiden om ook Halloween te vieren door pompoenen, spoken/geesten etc aan te bieden.
