Wittenberg 1517 Shirt | Reformation Day Christian Tee

Church history humor for the people who immediately get the reference. 🔨

This Wittenberg 1517 Christian shirt features a vintage-inspired “Wittenberg 1517 — Nailed It” graphic with a mallet, nail, and posted-document design—a playful nod to Martin Luther, the 95 Theses, and the Protestant Reformation.

The famous image of Luther nailing the theses to the Castle Church door is a traditional part of Reformation storytelling, although historians continue to debate whether the literal nailing happened exactly that way. What is firmly established is that Luther’s 95 Theses date to 1517 and were associated with Wittenberg and the beginning of the Reformation.

Printed on a Comfort Colors® 1717 Heavyweight T-Shirt, this niche Christian history tee is made for theology nerds, pastors, seminary students, homeschoolers, teachers, and anybody who thinks Reformation humor deserves its own wardrobe category.
