Since I don't like Hallowe'en, because of all the spooky stuff, I shift my focus to Reformation Day. That's when Martin Luther, a monk who saw much corruption within the Catholic Church, posted his 95 Theses or points for improvements. Legend has it that he nailed the list to a church door in Wittenberg, Germany where he lived. In reality, he sent them in a letter to the bishop of the district, but either way, it did not go over well. Luther was eventually excommunicated and started his own religion of protest(hence the word Protestant) which came to be called Lutheran. Today marks the 500th Anniversary of Luther sending out that list.
As a teen going to a Lutheran high school, I always enjoyed the celebrations of that day and the singing of Luther's hymn "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" in chapel. The event always seemed wonderfully revolutionary and dramatic and still does today when I know even more about the history of the times.
