Abstract:
Miss Ella Butler of the Moravian settlement of Old Salem is making candles, a definite harbinger of Christmas. For about two months before Christmas, Miss Ella busies herself with her annual task of making by hand, in exactly the same holds and in the same manner as they were made in 1766, the more than 10,000 candles used for the Moravian Christmas Love Feast observed by all the churches of the Southern Moravian Province comprising North Carolina and Virginia.
