In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, love.

The candle is made of beeswax which represents the purity of Christ; the flame represents the light of love that Christ brought into a darkened world; and the red ruff represents the blood of Christ. The first Christmas lovefeast was held for children on December 24, 1747. At Rural Hall Moravian, the candles used for our lovefeasts are made by members of the church who meet several times a year to melt the beeswax, trim the wicks, and pour the melted wax into the molds. In late November, the Women's Fellowship gathers to trim the candles with the red paper ruff.
