Ninety-Five
"Ninety-Five" refers to the "Ninety-Five Theses," a document written by Martin Luther in 1517. It challenged the practices of the Catholic Church, particularly the sale of indulgences, which were payments made to reduce punishment for sins. Luther's theses sparked the Protestant Reformation, a movement that led to significant changes in Christianity.
The Ninety-Five Theses were posted on the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church in Germany. This act symbolized a call for reform and encouraged debate about religious practices. Luther's ideas spread rapidly, aided by the invention of the printing press, leading to widespread religious and political upheaval in Europe.
