    Despite the red bricks, this church with the roof turret reminds me of #Herrnhut, #Kleinwelka and the other #Moravian places in Germany.

    Is it possible that the Christmas tree tradition started even earlier, in #Labrador (#Nunatsiavut ) with the #Moravian Mission Station in #Nain, founded already 1771 – a full ten years before the claim by the town of Sorel, Quebec ? The Moravian archival records, as they mostly are in German language, have not yet been fully explored in this respect.

  11. Im September vor 174 Jahren besuchte der Oberlausitzer Sorbe Johann August #Miertsching die #Herrnhuter Missionsstation Hebron, (#Nunatsiavut/Labrador), bevor er in die Heimat zurückkehrte. Nur kurze Zeit später fuhr er als Inuktitut-Übersetzer auf #HMSInvestigator, um an der Suche nach der verschwundenen #FranklinExpedition teilzunehmen.

    There is a mostly unknown connection between British maritime history in 19th century (#franklinexpedition etc.) and Germany - in person of Johann August #Miertsching, Inuktitut interpreter for the Royal Navy 1850-54. Prior to this, he served a #Moravian missionary and teacher in #Labrador (=#Nunatsiavut, in today's Canada), then a British colony.

  18. Last summer, while on sabbatical, I held Salome’s travel journal in my own hands at the #Moravian Archives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I also read a translation of the memoir read at her funeral from the #Moravian Archives in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

  19. After the death of her second husband, Salome taught in a girls’ school founded by the #Moravian Church in 1772. That school later became #SalemAcademy and #SalemCollege. Alumnae of those institutions re-created that journey in the fall of 2021, using a translation Salome’s travel journal, which she had written in German, and gathering in God’s Acre to honor her at the end.

  20. @Tornuggla Anbetung und Gebet 24/7 findet statt. Das ist ungewöhnlich, gibt es in der Geschichte von Erweckungsbewegungen immer wieder, Stichwort #Moravian #Revival

  21. With #balloons in the news, I was reminded of these 1855 newspaper items from the #Moravian town of Salem, North Carolina. Professor George Elliott did not feed a multitude of 5,000 but did entertain them with his 113th #balloon ascension. The Salem Brass Band played amid cheers as “the professor took his aerial flight” before landing about six miles away “at a Mr. Williard’s plantation” (i.e., farm).

  22. @histoireinvent on board of the ship was interpreter Johann August #Miertsching, former #Moravian missionary, who wrote a diary about these 4 winters in ice (and we wrote a book about him 😀). They were also searching for the lost #Franklinexpedition.

  28. Happy 1st Sunday of Advent! The #Moravian Star (#Herrnhuter Stern) was first lighted in 1821. Johann August #Miertsching, a Moravian missionary, was the only one from Germany who was involved in the discovery of the #NorthwestPassage in 1850 while searching for the lost @franklinexpedition

  30. The sun has set. #Advent has begun. And at the Rectory, a #Moravian star is shining in the darkness as we wait for the glory of the Lord to be revealed. #Herrnhuter

    Morning Star, my soul’s true light,
    tarry not, dispel my night. . . .
    Jesus mine, in me shine . . .
    fill my heart with light divine.

  31. @MagpieLaughs This is the title page of the first volume of the diary of my 6th great-grandfather, who was born in #Alsace in 1708:

    Johann Philip Meurer
    from
    Ingweiler from Alsace

    He came from the #Moravian community of Herrnhaag in Germany to the Moravian community of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in British America in 1742, and was later ordained that year as a Moravian pastor.
