Reformation Sunday | Reformation 500 Church Banners

The Protestant Reformation was a 16th century movement that altered the course of world history.

Martin Luther was a former Catholic monk who wrote the 95 Thesis document. In the document he questioned the Catholic Church practices, specifically the practice of granting indulgences—popularly believed to grant forgiveness of sin and remission of punishment. Luther himself had come to believe in the primacy of faith over good works and in the priesthood of individual believers. On October 31, 1517 he nailed his 95 Thesis on the door of the Catholic Church of Wittenberg. Once this happened many people all throughout Germany began to react to his convictions. Though Martin Luther was not the only voice of the Reformation, he was certainly one of the top figures that influenced the vast changes which resulted. The world would never be the same. Thanks to the printing press, Martin Luther’s writings spread rapidly throughout Germany. Luther helped make this happen by having audacity to write in German, the common language of the people, rather than in Latin like most other theological treatises.

Be Liturgically Correct… or at least close!

Epiphany’s liturgical color is Green, Navy, or White depending on the church you attend. Therefore you would want the background color of your worship banner to be one of those colors. Next is Lent, which is the 40 days before Easter. That color is usually purple. This is a time of introspection before the celebration of Christ’s resurrection at Easter. Hence most Liturgical Banners should also be primarily purple. Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter, is also purple. Good Friday is still Purple but some churches use Black. Then comes Easter, Yeah, Resurrection Sunday! White is the color of the day! Gold is also used.

“It’s important to get your Liturgical Banner colors right… but Moses didn’t write it in the law!

Pentecost is Red, and when it’s not Red, it’s Red. It is always Red. This is the day the gift of the Holy Spirit came as a flame over the heads of believers that day.
