Moravian settlements

Moravian settlements refer to communities established by the Moravian Church, which originated in the 15th century in what is now the Czech Republic. The Moravians were known for their commitment to education, community living, and missionary work. They founded settlements across Europe and America, particularly in the 18th century, that emphasized religious freedom, social cooperation, and sustainable practices. Notable settlements include Bethlehem and Nazareth in Pennsylvania. These communities fostered a sense of belonging and focused on spiritual growth, cultural contributions, and social services, significantly impacting their regions while maintaining their unique cultural identity.
