Add a photoLititz, PA was founded in 1756 as a closed Moravian community and remained that way for 100 years. The town is built around the Moravian Church Square and while it now hosts many religions the Moravian Star and Moravian food dominate. While not Moravian, our family enjoyed Moravian Sugar Cake as a special treat. We always got ours from Katie Ditzler and it arrived still warm. It had to be eaten within a couple days and it was always best when dunked.
