Reformation Day
On 31 October 1517 (488 years ago) Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, denouncing the sale of indulgences, and making an invitation to debate the topic. This act was the start of the Protestant Reformation, and 31 October is now known by Lutherans and other Protestants as Reformation Day.
In the past I have heard of various important people in the history of Christianity and their associated theological views, but this year was the first time I have heard of Reformation Day, and I think its great. I spent the evening watching the movie Luther at my church, and enjoyed it very much.
