Once more; beautiful, interesting and educational. I've never heard about the Moravian Star before. Now I've seen it in straw, tin and crystal. Just amazing.
ReplyDeleteI listened to the Christmas service, and even though it's a bit early for me, I got caught by the song, the candles and the way the congregation behaved in church.
Thanks for sharing.
What a quaint and picturesque town. Fall is the best time to visit these citys because of all the beautiful colors of fall-orange, red and sometimes blue. Adore the brick sidewalks and the brown tea set.
