Reformation Day commemorates the beginning of the Protestant Reformation in 1517, when the German monk and theologian Martin Luther made public his Ninety-five Theses, a set of arguments against the sale of indulgences and other practices of the church. It is a major day for Lutheran and other Protestant churches, marked with special services and the singing of Luther's hymn A Mighty Fortress Is Our God. It is especially significant in the home region of the Reformation, in eastern Germany, where Wittenberg, Eisleben and Erfurt are important sites. Observances also include church concerts.
In Slovenia, 31 October is a public holiday that honours the Protestant Reformation in the Slovene lands and, in particular, Primož Trubar, the Protestant reformer who wrote the first printed books in the Slovene language, in 1550. The date is also observed as a public holiday in several German states, and in some other countries on the same date it is a church day only. In German-speaking countries it often coincides with the lead-up to All Saints' Day. Many Protestant congregations also hold evening services with the reading of the Theses.
