 Reformation Sunday 
For Lutherans and many other Protestants in America, the last Sunday in October is celebrated as Reformation Sunday.
 
Reformation Sunday honors Martin Luther's bold action on October 31st, 1517.
 
On that date Luther posted his statement of faith, known as the 95 Theses, on the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, thus beginning the Protestant Reformation.
 
In some parts of Europe, Reformation Day is a civil holiday celebrated on October 31st, a day to commemorate the vast social and political change that resulted from Luther's actions.

Memorials
