The first of the five Eisheiligen(Icesaints) - The Holy Mamertius - was a nice dry and warm day at Hopfgarten (Thuringia). Also the coots in the water had fun.
The five memorial days:
11th of May - Mamertus, Bishop of Vienna
12th of May - Pankratius, early Christian Martyrs
13th of May - Servatius, Bishop of Tongeren
14th of May - Bonifatius, early Christian Martyrs
15th of May - Sophia, early Christian Martyrs and mother of three consecrated virgins
After Sophia the nights should remain warmer. Its best to wait with the planting until she has past.
As popular saying goes: „Die kalte Sophie macht alles hie“ (Something like: Cold Sophie makes everything broken)
