The book about the Moravian Star, its history and the development of the Moravian Manufactory.
The Moravian Star is now known in many places. And you also know about the history of its origins. Or not really? What are certain historical findings, where does the creation of myths and legends begin? The recently published booklet “… and shines in the whole world” provides for the first time an annotated overview of sources from the time the star was formed in the second half of the 19th century. The path from individual production to manufacture in the 20th century is carefully traced. The author Dorothee Theile succeeds in formulating it precisely, yet loosely and with humor. The clear structure and the numerous illustrations ensure an entertaining and pleasant reading experience. Dorothee Theile attaches great importance to the biblical reference to the Moravian Star. For everyone who sees more than a cozy Advent and Christmas decoration in the Herrnhuter Stern, this little booklet is a valuable asset.
