Martin Luther was born on November 10, 1483, in Eisleben, Germany.¹⁾

He was a German professor of theology, composer, priest, and key figure in the Protestant Reformation.²⁾

Luther's religious beliefs were shaped by his experience during a thunderstorm when he vowed to become a monk if he survived, which led him to join an Augustinian monastery.³⁾

Luther's most famous work, “Ninety-Five Theses,” was a list of arguments against the Catholic Church's practice of selling indulgences. He posted it on the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church on October 31, 1517.⁴⁾
