Old Salem Candle Tea

We enjoyed an evening at the Candle Tea hosted by the Moravians in Old Salem. We sang Christmas carols accompanied by an old pump organ.


Then we watched the process of making the famous beeswax candles.

Next we went into the kitchen and sampled the moravian sugar cake along with some moravian coffee. We then went to the sub basement which was used as a refridgerated room for meats, vegetables, and preserves. We observed the Old Salem replica and heard the Christmas story and the putz. We believe that we will make this a family tradition and try to attend each year forward.
