Lutherans celebrate Reformation Day (or the Sunday closest to it as Reformation Sunday) in commemoration of Martin Luther’s posting of the 95 Theses on the church door at Wittenberg on October 31, 1517—an action which helped to spark the Protestant Reformation. Reformation Day is a legal and school holiday in Lutheran parts of Europe.
But this celebration is not just for Lutherans. In fact, all Protestants of whatever stream trace their roots, and owe a great to, Luther and the other Reformers. All believers are indebted to their courageous stand for the purity of the gospel against virtually all the civil and ecclesiastical forces of their day, armed only with an unshakable confidence in God and His Word. All were persecuted; some paid with their lives.
