Original Herrnhuter Moravian Stars

The Herrnhuter Star, also known as the Moravian Star, is more than just a stunning Christmas decoration—it’s a symbol of hope and tradition with over 160 years of history. First crafted in the 1800s by teachers and students at the Moravian Church boarding school in Herrnhut, Germany, these iconic 25-point star lanterns were designed to bring comfort and joy during the Advent season, especially to children separated from their families.

Today, Herrnhuter Sterne Germany continues this cherished tradition, handcrafting plastic Herrnhuter Stars designed for both indoor and outdoor use. All star lanterns in our collection are equipped for North American electrical outlets, with a range of power supply options to suit your display needs.

From festive holiday displays to year-round home and garden décor, Herrnhuter Stars are a beautiful way to celebrate the season.
