In 1505, Martin Luther was a law student caught outside in the middle of a thunderstorm.  A bolt of [[lightning]] struck the ground near him.  Terrified, he cried out to St. Anne for protection and promised to become a [[monk]] if he survived the storm.  He did survive, and then left law school to join an Augustinian monastery.
