History

Through the decades of changing life-styles, the traditions of Moravians have remained unchanged. These meaningful traditions echo our rich heritage and reflect our Christian commitment. Edgeboro Moravian Church is a church that truly celebrates Moravian values and customs through the continuing observance of these traditions.

Meaning of "Putz"

The word “Putz” is taken from the German word “putzen”, meaning to arrange a decoration. Moravians use this name for Christmas scenes they make in their homes. Early Moravians would prepare these displays and then go “putzing” to view fellow Moravian displays.
