Moravian Sunrise Service
Climaxes Easter Season
By Carol Weidner
As the words, “The Lord is risen.
The Lord is risen indeed!” echo
across God’s Acre in the grey dawn,
the Moravians once again worship
in their distinctive Easter sunrise
service. Originated by a group of
young men in Herrnhut, Germany,
in 1722, the service was first held
in Salem in 1771. The service to
day is as nearly in the manner of
the long ago as present-day con
ditions and the large company of
worshippers will permit. It is in no
sense of spectacular appeal or page
antry but a service of true worship
and inspiration. Thousands of peo
ple flock to the city for this ser
vice every year.
Music holds a prominent place in
the Moravian Church. A band of
500 is divided into six divisions and
at an early hour starts from vari
ous points in the city to carry out

ion” at 2:15 p.m. on Good Friday,
and identical Lovefeasts on Friday
at 7:45 p.m. and on Saturday at
2:30 p.m. The oratorio “The Seven
Last Words” will be presented on
Saturday at 8:00 p.m.
The significant Moravian Love-
feast is designed to emphasize our
fellowship as Christians through a
simple meal of buns and coffee. It
is customary to bring a small nap
kin or handkerchief on which to
place your bun. The coffee and
buns are served with quiet and
reverence so as not to disturb the
atmosphere of worship. A brief
message by the pastor and special
music make up the remainder of
the service.
The Easter observance is cli
maxed by the joyful worship on
Sunday at 11:00 a.m. Salem girls
may attend any or all of these ser
vices.
