Happy #Doorsday everyone! 🚪
Here is #Germany's most famous #door (the website even claims it may be the most famous door in the world, ha!): The "Theses #Doors" of the All Saints' #Church in #Wittenberg. It is said that Martin Luther posted his 95 theses on this door. These theses launched the #Protestant #Reformation in 1517, resulting in the birth of #Protestantism.

Of course this is not the original door from back then. It burned down in 1760 in the Seven Years' War, together with most of the church, and was replaced. These #bronze doors were installed on Luther's 375th birthday in 1858, with his theses inscribed in Latin. Today, the doors are only used for special occasions. And for photos of course. Lots and lots of photos ... 😋

The image shows the "Theses Doors", the entrance to the Church of All Saints in Wittenberg, Germany. The entrance is framed by a large, arched stone doorway. Above the door, there's a mosaic depicting the crucifixion of Jesus, flanked by two figures. The door itself is made of dark bronze and features intricate carvings and inscriptions, commemorating Martin Luther's 95 theses. The stone surrounding the doorway shows signs of weathering, adding to the historical feel of the scene.

There are many heroes from WWII, and whenever I come across a name I’ve never heard of, I always like to publicise it.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer - A pastor and devoted Lutheran Christian who opposed the Nazi regime and simply wanted peace. Unfortunately, this kind and heroic man paid the ultimate price for his beliefs…

Pastors and priests whose sermons were considered in any way critical of the Nazi regime were reported to the authorities by people sitting in church to listen, to spy, to report.

If you Americans think we are not there now in our own time and place, if we think this could only have happened in Germany in the 1930s, then we're not seeing what's going on in our country now — with Christians leading the charge.

Bonhoeffer stated, by the way, that in the time he spent at Union Seminary in New York, he found the Black church in the US alive, spiritually profound, biblically faithful — but he found the white Christian churches in the US the opposite. He took back to Germany the inspiration he received from the Black church in the US and that was one of his guiding lights as he spoke out against the Nazis.

Just as Bishop Mariann Budde is now being attacked for speaking out.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was imprisoned and executed for speaking (and acting) against the German state as a Lutheran leader. In Austria, the lay Catholic Franz Jäggerstätter was imprisoned for refusing to enlist in the army because his conscience did not permit him to support the Nazis. Jäggerstätter was executed.

Protestant church leaders especially welcomed Hitler as a manly man anointed by God — they actually said and wrote this — who would purify the German nation and make it strong and manly again.

And what many Americans also choose not to know: when a very few courageous and faithful Christians chose to speak out, they were ruthlessly attacked by both the German state under Hitler and by their fellow German Christians.
