Reformation Festival

We have relocated north of Leipzig – snow has turned to rain so driving is okay. We spent Sunday afternoon in Eisleben, the town of Luther’s birth and also, coincidentally, his death. This is St. Peter-St. Paul Church where Luther was baptized.
The pulpit in St. Andrews church where Luther preached his final three sermons. Of the many places he preached, this is the only such pulpit still in use in an active congregation today.
We made it to Eisleben in time for the last day of the “Reformation Festival”! Lots of medieval costumes, food, entertainment, trade booths and a few people dressed as Luther wandering around.
