Common Prayer for the Ecumenical Commemoration of the Reformation
On October 31, 2016, Pope Francis gathered with leaders of the Lutheran World Federation to observe the 499th anniversary of Martin Luther’s nailing of his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, with a service of Common Prayer shared at the Lund Cathedral in Sweden. Luther’s act is remembered as the beginning of the Protestant Reformation.
