Summary

The festivity of All Saints´ Day is associated, in Paternain and other places in ; the geography of Navarre, to a childrens´ trick-or-treat collection from one house to another in the village. The txinurri, a term that encompasses the harvest of both chestnuts and walnuts, in other times used to be a prompt for the smaller children in their rounds while singing songs they used to interpret in small groups. However, both the 2nd November celebration and the consumption of chestnuts are very extended throughout the peninsula.
