Martin Luther's Bible, first printed in 1534, was not only the first German publication of the Bible but also a major event in the history of Christianity. It made the Bible accessible to laypeople for the first time in history and gave life to a new religion: Protestantism. This calendar features amazingly beautiful reproductions of Lucas Cranach's woodcuts from the Luther Bible. Cranach created fine, valued engravings and woodcuts as well as paintings. He designed woodcuts for Luther's translation of the New Testament; painted altarpieces for Lutheran churches; and painted, engraved, and made woodcut portraits of Protestant Reformers and princes.
