The Moravian tradition originates from the Moravian Church, a Protestant denomination that emerged in the 15th century in what is now the Czech Republic. It emphasizes community, education, and mission work, with a strong focus on music and worship. The Moravians are known for their rich musical heritage, including hymns and choral works, which play a significant role in their religious services. In addition to music, the Moravian tradition includes unique customs such as the celebration of Christmas with special services and the use of Moravian stars, decorative paper stars that symbolize light and hope. The tradition also values craftsmanship, particularly in pottery and woodworking, reflecting a commitment to quality and community engagement.
