Christmas Library 2022 : Visiting A Historic Church Community at Christmas Time

Ideas For Things To Do: Visiting a Historic Church, Museum or Exhibit for Christmas.

Historic Old Salem, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

I live in the state of North Carolina, and whenever possible I visit historic Old Salem, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, one of the oldest Moravian communities in North America. There I learn about the legendary Moravian Candle Feasts, smell the beeswax candles, sample apple cider & spice cookies baked in 200 year old oven, and see old time Christmas carolers. Perhaps near you is a historic church, a religious community, a sacred bell tower, some place that has an extra special meaning at Christmas time.

Even within your congregation, there may be stories of Christmas services in older sanctuaries and powerful sermons from former pastors.

Taking your loved one(s) to a historic place, especially one where worship and praising the Lord took place for generations, can be very joyous at Christmas time.
