"Sundered faiths rejoin amid the lantern lights of children…in Erfurt, East Germany, where [Martin] Luther studied…and was ordained a priest in the cathedral, at left. Annually on November 10, his birthday, Protestants and Catholics gather here to honor both him and the Catholic St. Martin, whose name the infant was given on the saint's feast day, November 11."
