"A death mask is a likeness of a person's face after their death, usually made by taking a cast or impression from the corpse. Death masks may be mementos of the dead or be used for creation of portraits.
The main purpose of the death mask from the Middle Ages until the 19th century was to serve as a model for sculptors in creating statues and busts of the deceased person. Not until the 1800s did such masks become valued for themselves.
In other cultures a death mask may be a funeral mask, an image placed on the face of the deceased before burial rites, and normally buried with them. The best known of these are the masks used in ancient Egypt as part of the mummification process, such as the mask of Tutankhamun, and those from Mycenaean Greece such as the Mask of Agamemnon."

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

Just a reminder Martin Luther called a twelve year old disabled boy “merely a lump of flesh without a soul.” and wanted to have him killed. ✌️
He also said disabled people were created not by God but by the devil and had either no soul or that the devil was their soul.

am doing a history project. can u tell me about the 95 theses?
Because Germany used a logarithmic decimal system at the time, many people are unaware that Luther in fact posted only 9.5 theses on his local church door. Because the final thesis is cut off, it is considered the 0.5 beyond the other 9 theses. These theses are as follows:
Confession is good.
God accepts confessions, not the Pope.
Purgatory is a big load of Papal bull.
Paying for salvation is absurd, as God is already way rich.
God can buy anything he wants, he has so much money.
God could even buy the twittering of birds.
If God bought the twitter, then God should get to say anything God wants in those tweets, even reinstating banned bird species.
God can run twitter any way he wants, even if he wants to run it into the ground, because that's how free-market capitalism should work and everyone knows capitalism is the Christian way no matter what Jesus said about greed and the rich and the poor because America.
Comedy is now legal on twit-
Why Luther mentioned America is the source of much scholarly debate, as it had only just been discovered by Europe and was believed by most to be a small island notable only for having a new food called "potatoes."
Luther was thankfully largely ignored owing to his own heavily antisemitic statements, which he felt would be welcomed by the aforementioned twitter. He was soon forgotten, and Germany's Jewish population was not known to have any further problems.*
*According to many on twitter.

Early prototypes of this scroll lacked a limit on their duration. Mistakes were made, and lessons were learned.

For centuries Europeans believed that criminals had their own secret language, Thieves’ Cant. Evidence for it is scant but some believe it influenced modern English.

Martin Luther and Paul the Apostle would have either gotten along like a house fire or they wouldn't have been able to stand in the same room. It's about the self loathing.

“I simply taught, preached, and wrote God’s Word; otherwise I did nothing.  And while I slept, or drank Wittenberg beer with my friends Philipp and Amsdorf, the Word so greatly weakened the papacy that no prince or emperor ever inflicted such losses upon it.  I did nothing; the Word did everything.”
- Martin Luther, Luther’s Works, vol. 51 Sermons I, 76-77
