Moravian Candle Wrapping is usually done by the women's circle. The bee's wax is the purest of candles and is usually wrapped in red, which symbolizes the blood of Christ. At Riverside Moravian, two others colors are used, white, which symbolizes the purity of Christ (which is supossed to be the bee's wax, but oh well) and the green, which symbolizes the eternal. All in all, its done to make the tray look nice and I think they do an excellent job.
Here are two pictures of the sanctuary. The first is Jeff (my supervising pastor) and he is hanging the stars which have names of local children who need gifts this Christmas. The second picture is the back of the sanctuary all hung with garland and Moravian stars. The men's group is looking up to make sure everything is hung properly. It seems everything is in place.
