The most famous Moravian Sunrise Service in the United States is probably that of the Salem Congregation in what is now Winston-Salem, NC, held annually since 1772.[2] More than six thousand worshipers gather before dawn in front of the church to proclaim the Resurrection.[4] The worshipers then move in procession to the historic graveyard, or "God's Acre".[2] Brass choirs from twelve congregations, totaling over five hundred members,[2] play hymns antiphonally during the procession. The service concludes with a proclamation of faith and hymns of hope.
