What is Reformation Day and why do Lutheran's Celebrate It?
​
Reformation Day, also known as Reformation Sunday, is a Protestant Christian (non-Catholic) holiday that celebrates the origins of Protestantism (non-Catholic). It's typically observed on October 31 or the last Sunday of October, depending on the denomination. The holiday commemorates Martin Luther, a German monk who is said to have posted his Ninety-Five Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517. The Ninety-Five Theses were a document that criticized the Catholic Church, and Protestants consider this day to be the beginning of the Reformation. It was when protestants had discussions about their disagreements with the Catholic Church in regards to sin and forgiveness and indulgences as a way to get into heaven.
​
Lutherans often wear red on Reformation Sunday to represent the Holy Spirit, zeal, and martyrdom. The color also serves as a reminder of those who have been martyred for their faith in Jesus, and the blood they shed in defense of the Gospel.
