![In this picture there are 3 origami-folded Moravian or Herrnhut stars - one large purple, and two smaller white ones. The largest is about 8” across, and the smaller about 5”.
They are 3-dimensional with 16 points.
They sit on a wooden floor in front of a glass door to the outside. Leafless trees can be seen in the background.
Nearly 200 years ago in Saxony, Germany, a math teacher in a Moravian school created a star for his students to demonstrate geometric principles.
That star went on to be known as the Moravian star, and today is hung in homes across Europe, during Advent, Christmas and Epiphany.
These softly glowing stars in windows or hung from eaves, porches, and balconies, can represent different things to each of us. In the mid-winter celebration of light, the star can be a comforting reminder of brighter days to come.

A nomadic lifestyle of traveling ‘light’ means limited resources to spruce-up for Christmas [spruce up . . . get it?! Sorry - couldn’t resist.]
As such, the Christmas season has become a bit of a decorative non-event, but last year in Dresden we kept seeing hundreds of these multi-pointed stars hanging from balconies, trees, doorways, bell-towers, and I got to thinking - I wonder if there’s an instruction book? And so these were born.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2fvuyiwxi7cu2eytxybnshxn/bafkreih5rytl2uqlqlrdwmj6xwp2ievmcwz26rg27lszgutapuiofv5yle)

#Podcast: Moravians were protesting before Protestants were Protestant. Who is the peace-making denomination today? And what can we learn from each other? #Moravian #Anglican
“…we are called to be present in the tensions of the world, not absent from them. Our worship doesn’t lift us out of the messiness of human existence; it prepares us to enter it more fully.” (The #ELCA is in full communion with the #Moravian church.)

Cultural exchange in Europe exists and thrives although all too rarely after most programmes were cancelled in 2004.

Emailed my alma mater #Lehigh and my daughter's #Moravian, to ask why they aren't listed. Challenged our local Dems to check the list and thank/encourage institutions they are connected with as appropriate. 523 signatures as of this morning. Stand up for academic freedom. Appeasement does not work.
hey today we are looking suggestions for verses from the bible, old or new testament, that would bring people comfort in times of distress. Any suggestions please share them. #psalm #christian #catholic #bornagain #moravian #methodist #inspiring #comforting #peacegiving #loving #inclusive #secular
A small 1 to 10000 scribed orienteering map. It is unusual in that runnable forest is shown using a green screen. There is no white. The forest is mostly runnable.
Torrieston 1983. Intended for a permanent course there is no white areas, the runnable forest is shown as green. Supposedly less confusing for the target audience but they still kept yellow for open. #OldOrienteeringMaps #Moravian #Omaps #Orienteering
