Mon 11 Nov 2009Service honours Reformation Day
A UNIQUE Protestant service took place in Dublin on Saturday when Orangemen from the Republic held a service to commemorate Reformation Day for what is believed to be the first time.
On October 31st, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the parish church at Wittenberg in Germany, a date that is generally seen as the beginning of the Reformation. Saturday’s service took place at Bewleys Hotel in Ballsbridge and was attended by approximately 30 members of the Dublin and Wicklow Orange Lodge.
