Among the evangelistic brother congregation in the German city Herrnhut, the advent devotion have had traditionally played a big part. On a boarding school in Herrnhut the boys, this was during the 1880:s, the first Advent Stars was made. Around the turn of the century (1800 – 1900) a paper merchant found out how to create a star with detachable points. And because of the stars became easy to wrap and by that could they create a profitable manufacturing. The earliest spreading happened thru the Parrish in Herrnhut and thru people who had some connection to Herrnhut. The first Stars in Sweden seams to appear around 1912. It was the professors’ wife Mrs Julia Aurelius (born in Germany, but at the time living in Lund, Sweden) who gave the stars away to friends and other acquaintance around Sweden during the First World War. In the beginning the stars wasn’t accepted in every home and all classes. During one time it was even called the proletarian star. It wasn’t that until it had been given a little bit more like domestic crafts look it became accepted in the upper classes. But today you’ll find the stars in its place: the windows were it spreads its light and warmth both inside and outside. The Star of Bethlehem had found its one way into our homes.
