Where does the procession start and end?

It sets off from the Purkrabství building at 5:30pm, after St. Martin is welcomed there at 5pm, and ends in front of the Rotunda of St. Martin around 6:15pm.

Can we skip the start and just come for the procession?

Yes. The kids' game at 4pm and the prayer at 4:30pm come first; turn up at the Purkrabství by 5pm to catch St. Martin's arrival on his white horse.

Is it a religious event?

It includes a short children's prayer with St. Martin inside the rotunda.

About

A yearly St. Martin's Day evening at Vyšehrad, run by the Maják Scout center. It opens with a themed game for kids in the park and a short children's prayer inside the Rotunda of St. Martin. Then St. Martin arrives on a white horse and leads a lantern procession along the Vyšehrad walls back to the rotunda. It suits preschoolers and school-age kids who are happy with an evening walk.
