Abstract:

Old Salem is a historic area of Winston-Salem founded by a group of Moravians in 1776. The founding Moravians and those that followed gave a distinctive flavor to their town, leaving a legacy rich in traditions, especially those associated with Christmas. Some of the Moravian Yuletide traditions include thin ginger cookies, handmade beeswax candles, and lovefeasts.
