In memory of my dad, we will continue to carry on his passion. The story of the making of these beautiful stars. My dad spent 2 years mastering this beautiful Moravian Star with each point made out of wood, one point at a time. Many hours go into making just one star as we use no large machinery. Following the unexpected death of my dad, my husband Kirt will carry on this beautiful craft my dad left behind. Thank you for supporting our small business in memory of a wonderful man. Please keep our family in your prayers.
Our family loves being able to share these stars, as we love the heritage of the Moravians, with 7 generations in our family. These stars are a beautiful gift to cherish for many years, they are great gifts for all occasions!
Brief History of the Moravian Star
Originating in the Moravian boarding schools in Germany in the nineteenth century as an exercise in geometry, the stars were carried throughout the world by missionaries and other church workers. Now, from the Himalayas to the Caribbean, the star proclaims the hope of Advent. While we are most familiar with the white star, the first star had alternating red and white points. Stars colors have also included red and yellow, white and yellow, and a yellow "starburst" with a red center.
Whatever its form, the star reminds us of God, who caused the light to shine out of darkness and of the light which is the life of humanity. It reminds us of the promise of Abraham that his descendants would be more numerous than the stars; we are reminded of the star that pointed to the "great and heavenly light from Bethlehem's manger shining bright." The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. This is the message of the Advent Star, which also points to Jesus, who said, "I am the bright and Morning Star." It is the star of promise, the star of fulfillment, and the star of hope.
