For it came to pass, in the year 1741, that a small company of Moravians from Bohemia and Sax- ony, under the leadership of David Zeisberger, arrived at this site on the banks of the Lehigh Valley and built the first log cabin, a community dwelling house. It was finished just before Christmas Eve. In celebration of their new-found haven, and of the Christmas season, ship of Count Von Zinzendorf, Bishop of the Moravian Church, conducted services and sang Ger- man Christmas hymns. Carrying lighted tapers, the worshipers travelled to the stable housed in the same log cabin, occupied by cattle. Being struck by the simi- larity of the environment to the manger of Bethlehem in Judea, the Count appropriately named the new settlement ‘‘Bethlehem.” And thus was born the Christmas City of Pennsylvania. It is said that customs like tra- ditions and habits are = gradual growths, sometimes requiring cen- turies to develop and sometimes a comparatively short time. It was from this same group of Moravians institution known as “Putz” had its origin, the spirit in which they have tackled tasks and the customs, legends and traditions which have grown around the creation would seem to warrant such a promise. The “Putz,” anticipation of which is as exciting as the realization, is an elaborate miniature landscape | built around and under the Christ- mas tree, telling the Christmas story from the entrance of the An- gelic Choir, to the manger with its Holy Family and ito the ador- ation of the Magi. The Putz may differ - widely in conception and construction but practically all in- clude an improvised stable or cave in which are housed the Christ Child in a manger, Mary His By Jerry Baum, Staff Writer E Capitol News Service The world may be ever so busy, but in this sea of quaintly picturesque Bethlehem focus their eyes celebration of the 205th birthday of their commj ‘mother, leani the ' Moravians under the leader-' or Pennsylvania Germans that the | Of Pen: Joseph standi: various scenes! birth of Jesus.
