SUMMARY:Reformation Day
UID:5b47-178f-4092-4374@www.bafid.fau.eu
DESCRIPTION:The Latin tradition of Christianity split into various Chr
 istian churches and communities in the early modern period as a result
  of reformatory movements in the so-called confessional age. Protestan
 ts\, i.e.\, Evangelical-Lutheran\, Evangelical-Reformed\, or Evangelic
 al-Free Church Christians\, see the eve of the feast of All Saints in 
 1517 as the ‘birth’ of the Protestant churches in Germany when the
  reformer Martin Luther is said to have posted his 95 theses on the re
 form of the church on the door of the castle church in Wittenberg. Fol
 lowing the anniversaries of this event in 1617 and 1717\, a Reformatio
 n festival was celebrated in many Protestant communities. Today it is 
 a public holiday in several German states—for example\, in Brandenbu
 rg\, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania\, and Thuringia. In various Catholi
 c communities\, younger children in particular—in the tradition of I
 rish Catholicism—celebrate the eve of ‘All Hallow&#8217\;s Eve’ 
 as a Halloween festival by going from house to house dressed up and as
 king for sweets. Although originally a Catholic custom\, ‘Halloween
 ’ is now predominantly seen as a secular fashion\, which is fuelled 
 by the retail trade with corresponding offers of sweet goods.
