The Christmas Putz

Along with seasonal worship and concerts, Central Moravian Church hosts our annual Christmas Putz, a beloved Moravian tradition since 1937. Free to the community, this 30-minute experience uses carved figures, narration, and lights to tell the story of Jesus’ birth. The term “putz” comes from the German word “putzen,” meaning to decorate.

Star & Candle Shoppe

Located alongside the Putz, the Star & Candle Shop features a wide selection of Moravian gifts, including authentic Herrnhuter Moravian stars, handcrafted ornaments, jewelry, glassware, and local artisan gifts. The Star & Candle Shop is managed by and benefits the Moravian Church Archives.
