Hello! For you October 31st is "Halloween". For me it is the day (485 years ago) when Dr Martin Luther nailed 95 theses against the practice of indulgence on the portal of the Schlosskirche (chateau church) in Wittenberg. This was a revolt against (...) (22 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle) !

(...) Wassssup (...) Great MOC! Looks cool. Didn't completely follow the thing about Dr Martin Luther, probably my fault though. Anyways, good job! Hasta La Vista, Sean P.S HLDI-wait, better not ask that : ) (22 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Jojo, Really nice MOC! I wonder if you are the first to make Martin Luther in Lego. I like the peaked arch over the door, very original. And I too would rather remember Martin Luther on Oct 31 than Halloween. Good job! Josh (...) (22 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Just read this thread again. Not trying to nit-pick, but I think you may be mixing up your historical figures. The Martin Luther you rendered in Lego was (I believe) just Martin Luther, not a Doctor. The "Dr." probably seems to precede that (...) (22 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) It is possible that the Doctor title comes from the theology degree Martin Luther had, as a monk. He was a scholar, if I am not mistaken? And back then, all Church scholars were referred to as "Doctors of the Church". BTW, MLK was a doctor of (...) (22 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)
