Today the Protestant faith is a world religion. Its origins date back to 500 years ago, when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. This set off a chain reaction which resulted in the Reformation and the Protestant Church splitting from Catholicism. 

The anniversary will be marked with events and church services, particularly in the towns where the reformer lived and worked.

Test how much you know about the sites associated with Luther.
