Craftsmen in Bethlehem supplied the communities with blacksmith services, a tannery, and other related necessities. Nazareth became the "breadbasket," as its farms proved more fruitful than Bethlehem's.
Though their neighbors were often suspicious of this strange band of Germans and downright hostile when the pacifist Moravians refused to bear arms in the colonial war against the Indians and French on the frontier, the Moravians of Nazareth strove to spread their gospel among their Native American, English, and German neighbors.
They soon abandoned the effort to bring all German Protestants under their spiritual guidance, but continued to devote a great deal of time and energy to reach the Lenape.
One reason for their success in spreading the gospel among native communities in New York, Ohio, and the Carolinas was their ability to communicate with the Indians in their own languages. Moravian missionaries spent years learning and then translating parts of the Bible in native dialects. We came to learn their language and as soon as we were sufficiently advanced we wished to bring them the words of the creator. Though the original Moravians who arrived in Nazareth with George Whitefield found their welcome short-lived, their persevering Brothers, Sisters, and descendants built a successful town there.
Today, Whitefield's three-and-a-half story limestone building houses the Moravian Historical Society. Open to the public, the Whitefield House contains a large collection of Moravian instruments, textiles and clothing, household goods, Native American artifacts, and paintings by John Valentine Haidt , whose religious canvasses and portraits were used by Moravians as visual aids to their ministry.
Pennsylvania Dutch Settlements Up until the mid 's, a large part of the native population was of German origin, better known as the Pennsylvania Dutch. In addition to Pennsylvania Dutch from Germany, many also came from Switzerland and the Alsace, which is now part of France.
Thus Pennsylvania Dutch, the term, includes residents which historically lived near the "German" origin Pennsylvania Dutch of Germany, in both France and Switzerland, whose borders over time had been traded around to be included in one country and then another, and the Pennsylvania Dutch were not then technically JUST from Germany, although they did share common bloodlines and ancestries, living in close locale.
Pennsylvania Dutch might more properly include one area of European origin, rather than one specific country of Europe, as the borders were given to vary over the centuries. Religious diversity of s Nazareth's residents' religion reflected a largely German background in evangelical churches of fairly large sizes for such a small town, divided among the Moravian, Lutheran, Reformed now part of the United Church of Christ , and Roman Catholic worship centers of the town.
Council will vote on all of those issues at the Monday, May 3, pm meeting. Decisions will be posted here on the Home Page of this website and on the Pool Page of the website.

With a new Pool Manager in place and a new Pavilion in the works, hopefully completed by the opening week, there's plenty to look for as the process continues.
That new Pavilion will be within the Pool enclosed area and will be rentable for parties and other events and should provide relief from the hot summer sun to regular patrons when it is not reserved.

A longtime hub in the downtown, the Nazareth Music Center has taught music and the playing of instruments continuously since The late Ralph Brodt Jr.
Together with wife Edith, Brodt, who is still active to this day, they continued that work of instruction, added the sales and rental of instruments, sheet music and other supplies as the business grew and flourished. A testament to the Center's success has been the numerous state and regional awards that the Nazareth High School Band and the Junior High School Band have won over the last several decades.
Sons Scott and Ralph III and daughter Nora make the business a family affair as a steady flow of accomplished musicians owe their prowess to the Music Center. The Borough is understandably proud of the Nazareth Music Center and the Brodt Family and thanks them for their six decades of downtown success.
