Reformation Day and All Saints’ Day: Books and More

Reformation Day and All Saints’ Day are back-to-back, in that order. I wanted to give you some resources to enjoy over the weekend.

We celebrate Reformation Day on October 31st to commemorate when Martin Luther began the Protestant Reformation (of the Catholic Church) back in 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany. To read more about that day and Luther’s 95 Theses, here is a good explanation.

What Is Reformation Day All About? (Ligonier Ministries)

To quote the article, this is significant:

“Though preached clearly in the New Testament and found in the writings of many of the church fathers, the medieval bishops and priests had largely forgotten the truth that our own good works can by no means merit God’s favor.”

How important is the above truth to our work today, in our homeschools and communities?

If you’re like me, you’re looking for a way to introduce your children to good, God-centered stories.

Keeping in step with Martin Luther’s message are the 5 solas:

Scripture alone
Christ alone
Faith alone
Grace alone
Glory to God alone

Here is a FREE 5 Solas printable for tracing and handwriting practice. It doubles as memory work.

Why ALL SAINTS’ DAY?

So, we know the significance of M. Luther to the Reformation. But, why celebrate All Saints’ Day?

We celebrate to remember our brothers and sisters in Christ who have gone before us and are waiting for us. We long to honor them and sing praises to Jesus, who will one day bring His kingdom down to reign over the new heaven and new earth forever and ever.

Here is a view of our celebration from last year’s All Saints’ Day.
