Home Moravian Church

The surrounding grounds of this historic church in Winston-Salem, NC is a beautiful and pieceful place.to visit. The graveyard there is referred to as "God's Acre". The Morvians have a unique set of beliefs about equality in death which translates in the "look" of their gravesites. They all have the same stones, flat to the ground, none stand out from the other, as you see, we are all equal and.the same in God's eyes in death. Many people go to walk the grounds to enjoy the piece that just seems to encompass the entire place. You can visit this beautiful church and learn about their worship and teachings. The Moravians are the first Protestants, pre-dating the Lutherans by 100 years. It is in the Old Salem area of Winston-Salem, NC. I lived there years ago and loved going there so much. Old Salem is so full of history. You could spend days there so see all of the individual sites, historic buildings, ole time shops and various nooks and items to explore. It is so worth a trip. Check a NC travel guide or Old Salem websites to find out the best times to visit and when all activities are opened so you can plan a full trip.

Very cool place to visit! What a page from the past... beautifully maintained and not a lot of ground to cover with regard to time spent out of your day. A look into the past, very cool architecture and an educational spot for any age. Enjoy walking around for free as we did, or opt for the pay for tours

We always go for the Moravian love feast on Christmas Eve. They actually have four services. For each of them you need to get there about an hour early to get a seat! There is an overflow area that shows the service on a TV. We love our yearly tradition and recommend it to anyone interested
