October 31 is day to remember because of its significance with respect to Christianity. On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted a proposal at the doors of a church in Wittenberg, Germany to debate the doctrine and practices of Indulgences. This proposal is popularly known as the 95 Theses which he nailed to the Castle Church doors. An indulgence is the full or partial remission of temporal punishment due for sins which have already been forgiven according to Roman Catholic theology.
During some rough times in the Catholic Church these indulgences were sold much to the dismay of Martin Luther. When Luther was excommunicated in 1520 the Lutheran tradition was born which in turn led to the creation of the Reformed traditions of which my church is a member.
So we spent the evening having a delicious meal compliments of mom where there was so much food we could not eat it all. It was a great celebration!
