EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking historical image captures the defiant moment when Lutheran reformer Martin Luther publicly burned the Papal Bull "Exsurge Domini" at the East Gate of Wittemberg on December 10, 1520. The bull, issued by Pope Leo X, demanded that Luther recant his writings condemning the sale of indulgences and threatening him with excommunication. Instead, Luther chose to stand firm in his beliefs and ignite the flames of the Reformation. The scene is set against the backdrop of the bustling East Gate of Wittemberg, with onlookers gathered to witness the dramatic event. Luther, dressed in his monk's habit, holds the bull aloft, a determined expression on his face as he prepares to cast it into the flames. Smoke rises from the pyre as the crowd cheers and claps, signaling their support for Luther's bold stand against the authority of the Catholic Church. This image is a powerful reminder of the pivotal role that Luther played in the Protestant Reformation, and the courage it took to challenge the established religious order of his time. The burning of the bull marked a turning point in the history of Christianity, leading to the spread of Protestantism and the eventual split from the Catholic Church. The image also highlights the significance of Wittemberg as a center of the Reformation movement, and the important role that the city's East Gate played in the unfolding of these historic events. Overall, this photograph is a captivating snapshot of an iconic moment in history, and a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
