St.Mark's Lutheran, San Francisco, celebrated the Reformation on 25 October. Many elements of Luther's Deutsche Masse were used in the liturgy, with only the chanting of the lessons and the use of incense omitted. Most of the music used in the service was written by Luther himself. That quintessential Lutheran hymn, "A Mighty Fortress is Our God," was used as the Psalm. The hymn itself, penned by Luther, is based on Psalm 46.
Luther believed that the Bible should be in the language of the people, not just in Latin. As early as Luther's time, Latin was largely a dead language, having morphed into the various Romance languages. Luther's translation of the Bible into German was so good that it is still the standard even today. Luther's German Bible became the basis for the modern German language.
