The Herrnhut Star is well known in  Moravian circles, along with the story of its origins. Or maybe not? Where do established historical facts end and myths and legends begin?

The published booklet "Morning Star, O Cheering Sight..." begins with an appraisal and overview of information sources relating to the origins of the Herrnhut Star in the second half of the C19th. Next, the journey through the C20th from home manufacture to factory production is conscientiously recorded. Author Dorothee Theile manages to express all this in a detailed yet relaxed and humourous style. The clear layout and numerous illustrations make for a quick and satisfying read. Dorothea Theile also places a great emphasis on the biblical relationship to the Herrnhut Star. This booklet is a treasure for anyone wishing to learn more about the Herrnhut Star.
