How is Reformation Day observed?

Lutherans and certain other Protestants celebrate October 31 as Reformation Day and may keep the preceding Sunday as Reformation Sunday, for which the liturgical color is red. Many churches hold special services focused on the Reformation and its effects, and some churches host family-oriented festivities as an alternative to Halloween.
