Moravian Tannenbaum

The Moravian Tannenbaum, or Moravian Christmas Tree, is a traditional festive decoration used by the Moravian Church, which originated in Europe during the 15th century. Unlike typical Christmas trees, Moravian Tannenbaum is often pyramidal in shape and adorned with a variety of decorations, including candles, paper ornaments, and sweets. It symbolizes the Christmas season and the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth. The tree is typically displayed in churches and homes during Advent, and its unique design reflects both religious significance and the community's customs, making it a cherished part of Moravian holiday traditions.
