The Story of the Star

Since old times, Christiansfeld has used a very special advent star made of paper, shaped like a morning star with 25 points.
It is manufactured in Herrnhut and became known in Denmark through the Brethren in Christiansfeld and is used in many places in Germany. Each year, the star is made as an Annual Star in a new color in a limited number.
