assembly of German princes, the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V and the papal representative, Cardinal
Alexander. Luther was asked to recant his heretical views by refused, saying, “Here I stand. I cannot do
otherwise. God help me. Amen.” This event marked Luther’s complete break with the Catholic Church
and the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. A torch is the symbol at the top of the window.
