Please don’t think I’m trying to be impertinent or anything, but I was just wondering in all innocence—do you folks ever run into people who complain about Reformation Day and say “this feast is not in the Bible—it’s a tradition of men”? You know...the kind of people who don’t celebrate Christmas and Easter? That just occurred to me—if so, I’d find it kinda funny. :)

This is not a "holy day" honoring a "saint" (although no doubt Martin Luther is a Saint..)This is a day honoring the Gospel of Christ...and that is the good news of the bible..

The saved are free to celebrate holidays BTW because we enjoy the liberty in Christ

Act 10:15 And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.

2Cr 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.

Happy Reformation day

I agree 100% with what you said about our freedom to celebrate holidays. And I’m not arguing the appropriateness of the day here, obviously if you think the Reformation was a good thing for the Church you will commemorate it—that’s not hard for me to understand in the least.

My point is to ask whether the same people that get on our case about feast days are also getting on yours about Reformation Day

I should research whether the Puritans celebrated it...they were generally anti-holiday. Hmmm....
