The diary of Bethabara for I7» records a slightly more lively Christmas. ~ “On Christmas Day the English children from the mid came to see our Christinas decoration, they were so poorly clad that it would have moved a stone to pity. We told them why we rejoiced'like children and gave to each*a piece of cake. In. Bethania Br. Ettwein held a Lovefeast for the 24 children there, at the close of the service each received a' pretty Christmas verse and a ginger cake, the first they had ever seen.” Two years later an, entry for Christmas Eve reported that a ‘Lovefeast was held in Bethania for the children, “who at its close received lighted wax tapers, and then a Lovefeast for the Congregation." At Bethabara there was also a Lovefeast for the children, who “rejoiced over the birth of the little Jesus, and at its close they received as in Bethania for the first time lighted wax tapers." Later there was a Lovefeast for the congregation, and old German and English hymns were read and sung. On Christmas morning the congregations in both Bethania and Bethabara were awakened with music, and services were ae?ni held Little honey cakes and verses were distributed during the Christmas Eve service held by the “Little Company on the Ens or South h 0... ’ in 1770. Hymns were sung, the Christmas story was told to the children, and during the Lovefeast more hymns were sung with violin accompaniment provided by Br. Volk. The service closed with prayer, and the “children were full of wonder and joy, it being the first time they had attended such a service." In the foDowing century, the Moravians were still keeping records: and entries speak of Christmas. The dairy of the Bethania congregation for 1855 tells of the rain on Dec. 24. “It was remarkable how many people came through the deep mud to. the Christmas vigil service. The children urge them on and almost ail were here. The service was held at 5. and nUrteCwmEnglish sermon on-thep-’v -"tMtHteri text, attended mOSUJ 1 ' 01 young people.
