Morten's Eve stems from the story of Bishop Martin of Tours, who hid among geese to escape being appointed bishop. In remembrance, people eat goose - or in modern times duck - on the evening before Morten's Day, that is, November 10th. The name Morten Bisp or Sankt Morten dates back to 1616, when the stories of Martin of Tours were first written down in Denmark.
