Resources about Martin Luther and the Reformation

For years our kids felt “left out” of getting candy and just dressing up for fun. We dealt with it in a variety of ways as they grew and understood more and more, but we also used that time to teach them about another important celebration for October 31st, Reformation Day.

October 31st is the anniversary of the day Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany (1517). This was later the day that Protestants would identify and claim was the beginning of the Reformation.

For years Christians have learned and celebrated both Martin Luther and the Reformation on October 31st rather than All Hallows Eve.

Many families choose not to celebrate Halloween for a variety of reasons. The cost can be a big factor for many (costumes can be expensive), but there are also those with religious and personal convictions that deter them from the day.

However, that doesn’t mean you have to hide in your house with all the lights off, leave your home completely (we’ve done that a time or two), or that your kids can’t have any fun on October 31st. In the past few years, Reformation Day parties have become a fun way for Christians to connect, learn more about this pivotal event in Protestant history.
