Moravian Church Day at Home Moravian Church
September 6, 2003

Welcome to Old Salem. God blessed us with a wonderful day to take a leisurely walk through the Old Salem square.

There were demonstrations of old time skills such as iron works and plenty of craft exhibits.

As usual, Union Cross Moravian Church was very poplular with everyone. When the day began, people were lining up to taste the wonder food prepared by the congregation.

 All the recipes were from our Women Fellowship Cookbook which is an ideal gift for anyone.

What would a Moravain event be without music? Music & Moravian = traditional Moravian.

Moravian symbols of faith abounded everywhere.

Dottie Netherton came form Martinsville, Virginia to exhibit her Scherenschnitte creations.  What is Scherenschnitte?

 Scherenschnitte (pronounced Sharon-sh-net-ah) is the German word for the art of scissors snipping or paper cutting. Paper cutting traveled throughout Asia and Europe and eventually was brought to America by the Germans settling in Pennsylvania, known as the Pennsylvania Dutch. Paper cuttings were used for: Marriage and Birth certificates, Christmas ornaments, home decoration and simply for the joy of creating art.
