Moravian Lovefeast
The early Christians met and broke
bread together to signify their union,
fellowship and love. In 1727, the
Moravian Church revived this practice,
and it has established the custom of
celebrating the great church festivals by
partaking together of a simple meal
knovm as a “lov^east.” The first, love-
feasts of the Moravian Church in North
America were held in Savannah, Georgia
during the yeara 1735 to 1740. The first
lovefeast in this area was heid on the
evening of the arrival of the first Moravian,
colonists in North Carolina, November
17,1753, at Bethabara Settlement, near
Winston-Salem.
The Christmas Lovefeast, with its
lighted candles is one of the most beau
tiful sen/ices of the Moravian Church.
TTie custom originated on the European
contirwnt at Marientx>m In the year 1747,
and spread throughout the Moravian
world. The first Christmas lovefeast held
at Bethabara was in 1753 and at Salem I n
1771. in North Carolina, the candles were
used for the first time in the children's
lovefeast of Bethabare and Bethania in
1762. Every person is given a lighted
candle to remind him that Christ said, “I
am the light of the world,” and “you are
the light of the workj - let your iight So
shine before men, that they may see your
good works, and glorify your Father who
is in heaven.”
we invite the Meredith community
to join Jn this special Christmas cdebra-
tion on Decemt>er4,1984 at 8; 00 p.m. in
Jones Chapel. May you have a blessed
holiday.
Inside CCL . . . .
“Why is it 9(5 cold in CCL?’
Many of you have asked this
question repeatedly as you shivered
and felt as if your toes, fingers, and
nose have t>een encased in ioe. The
answer is not a simple one, but you
need to be aware of the circum
stances.
The CCL has two main pur
poses. Or>e, it is the repository for
books, periodicals, multi-media
-m^srtal8,:aod other. (iElrKts ef r^
sources which support the academic
programs. Simultaneously, it pro
vides space and equipment for the
use of these materials, as well as a
place for members of the Meredith
community to study In a (hopefully)
quiet atmosphere.
The Ideal temperature and rela
tive humidity for books and other
materials is NOT the ideal tempera
ture for hunrtan beings; therefore,
we must try to reach a compromise
in which our wamvblooded patrons
aid our cold-loving bo^s can exist
without ^ther suffering too greatly.
Attention has been given to this
prc^em In the past, and you may
rest assured that it is continuing to
be examined this year. The main
tenance department is co-operating
with the library staff and is moni
toring daily the temperature on all
three floore to CCL.
Wd hope that you will be patient
and will come to the Lit:)rary dressed
appropriately when you l^ow you
will be sitting still for lengthy
periods.
The Lit>rary will t)e open the
