Dream to Travel from NCM

Last day on the river

11:15AM, disembarkation details gathering. I’m going and definitely not gonna forget my access card tomorrow. 12/noon, lunch. 1:30PM, Wittenberg walking tour. 6PM, captain’s cocktail (farewell) party. Busy day. ; )

Palace grounds of the then duke, built around 1340. It later became the official church of the University of Wittenberg and provided a pulpit for Martin Luther to preach Protestantism. It was here that Luther nailed his
95 Theses. The original door was destroyed by fire in 1760.

Indulgence box. The medieval indulgence was a writ offered by the Catholic Church, for money, guaranteeing the remission of sin, and its abuse was the spark that inspired Martin Luther’s 95 Theses. Luther claimed the sale of indulgences was unbiblical, challenging the authority of the Church and its claim as God’s earthly representative.
There you have it–Catholic’s idea of payment for guaranteeing the remission of sin sparked the reformation.
Town Church of St. Mary. Renowned to have celebrated one of the first masses in
German rather than in the traditional Latin. Mother Church of the Reformation.

Hi from Wittenberg. I miss you all! See you soon.
Having fun.
