The Moravian Church Settlements were inscribed today as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - eTradeWire -- Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites (HBMS) is thrilled to be among the organizations that worked to add the Moravian Church Settlements of Bethlehem to the UNESCO World Heritage Site List.
The historic Moravian Church Settlements of Bethlehem, USA, Gracehill, Northern Ireland and Herrnhut, Germany, were inscribed on the prestigious list at the World Heritage Committee meeting in New Delhi, India, on July 26, and now join Christiansfeld, Denmark, (inscribed in 2015) as a single World Heritage Site. The designation represents these historic settlements' outstanding universal value and the Moravian Church's global influence.
"Today's historic designation is a testament to everyone who has walked the grounds and made the Moravian settlement a part of Bethlehem's foundation," said LoriAnn Wukitsch, HBMS's president & CEO. "Our heartfelt gratitude extends to the supporters and volunteers dedicated to this decades-long process. The recognition underscores the importance of preserving these historic sites for future generations, and we are honored to join our international partners in showcasing the impact of the Moravian settlements on our world's cultural and historical landscape."
HBMS, spent over two decades working to add Historic Moravian Bethlehem to the World Heritage List, joined by the City of Bethlehem, Bethlehem Area Moravians, Central Moravian Church, and Moravian University. The inscription site spans 10 acres and includes nine structures, four ruins and God's Acre cemetery, all within the already designated Historic Moravian Bethlehem National Historic Landmark District. Among these sites are:
"We are honored to welcome guests to tour Bethlehem's most significant Moravian buildings and sites. Summer is the perfect time to experience the Moravian Church Settlements in Bethlehem," stated Lindsey Jancay, HBMS Vice President & Managing Director. "Our Historic Bethlehem Walking Tours with a costumed, certified docent are a real step back in time. Or, visitors can tour at their own pace with the self-guided Heritage Trail (https://www.historicbethlehem.org/experiences/s...) – a great way to experience over 275 years of history in our community."
