Moravian stars are decorative, multi-pointed stars traditionally made from paper or plastic. They are often used as Christmas ornaments and are characterized by their intricate geometric designs, typically featuring 26 points. These stars originated from the Moravian Church, a Protestant denomination that emphasizes community and education. The stars are commonly displayed during the Advent season and symbolize light and hope. They can be found in various sizes and colors, making them popular for both indoor and outdoor decorations. The craftsmanship involved in creating these stars reflects a rich cultural heritage associated with the Moravian community.
