Today is Halloween and if you are Lutheran it is also a big day its Reformation Sunday!
On October 31,1517
Martin Luther who started our church
nailed his 95 theses to the
Castle Church door in
Wittenberg, Germany.
It does occasionally fall on Halloween, well growing up we wouldcelebrate with an evening church service on this day.
That meant when we got home it would give us a later start
on trick or treating.
Well my husband is also Lutheran and his parents did not allow
trick or treating if it fell on a Reformation Sunday.
So they told them to go out the day before.
So every year we laugh about this story.
Phil said every house they went to trick or treating at
the people would tell them it's tomorrow.
your a day off and they would tell them we can't tomorrow
because we have to go to church.
I just think that is so funny, I wish I could have seen the peoples
faces with these two little nuts out early!
Happy Halloween!
what a beautiful church ;0)x
ReplyDeletehehehe yes i bet some folk would look abit 'confuzzled' until he explained why.

Your Church is picture perfect. If those precious little ones would have come to my house early for that reason they would have taken some extra candy home in their bag.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful service and
happy trick or treating with your little ones.
