Basque Royal Wedding 1659

The royal wedding, which cemented the alliance between the two old enemies, France and Spain, was a huge affair of state.   For several months Saint Jean de Luz was the capital of France, with the entire Royal Court on hand for the occasion.   Thousands of people streamed to the tiny, backward fishing port, which was quite unprepared for the event.  Fighting often broke out among haughty courtiers and foreign ambassadors for even the humblest lodgings.

Martin Luther

 Excerpts from Luther’s work entitled The Jews & their Lies:

From http://www.covenantofgrace.com/luther_good_works.htm

"The first, the noblest, the sublimest of all works, is faith in Jesus Christ. It is from this work that all other works must proceed: they are but the vassals of faith, and receive their efficacy from it alone."
