Moravian Star History
A star as part of the symbolism of Christmas must be as old as the festival itself since the Star of Bethlehem figures so prominently in the nativity story. A particular type of star that originated in Germany over a hundred years ago caught the fancy of the Moravian church and it has come to be associated with the way the denomination celebrates Christmas.
The Moravian Star is also called the Advent Star or the Herrnhut Star. The first is appropriate because the star is hung in the church beginning with the first Sunday in Advent. The second because for a long time the star was exclusively manufactured in Herrnhut, Germany.
These days Star Lamps and Lanterns made out of tin, glass and paper are popular as a home decor items through out the year not just during Christmas.
The Artists
Star Lantern and Star Lamps are nowadays made by artisans in many countries around the world. The most commonly used materials are glass, tin, and paper. The nicest Stars we found so far are made in Mexico. Morocco has a nice tradition of making all kinds of lanterns as well. As we continue expanding this lamp fixture category, we strive to offer you the best in Moravian star lighting that can be used as Christmas Star Lights or for any time of the year. Use them as star light pendant or star table lamp, what ever your choice may be.
Last but not least, I just love this poem:
O Star of wonder, Star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.
“We Three Kings of Orient Are”
