Although most all of America is celebrating Halloween – I like to say: “Happy 488th Birthday!”
You might wonder what I am celebrating – well the Reformation of the Christian faith of course.
Today, on October 31st 1517, Martin Luther nailed his famous Ninety-Five Theses onto the door of the Wittenberg Church. So celebrate with me…
You didn’t know this, but I attended Lutheran School when I was in the 5th, 6th and 7th grades.
Thus, I know that Martin Luther’s birthday is November 10th.
He and I share that birthdate.
(And we don’t celebrate Halloween in my household.)
You see, in Germany they haven’t celebrated Halloween for the longest time, but my mom told me that they have started a couple of years ago…Makes me very say…
