It is the Feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord, also called the Feast of the Holy Name, but it has not always functioned as a new beginning. Up until the Middle Ages, there were various new year days celebrated in the Christian world\u2014September 1st, Christmas, Easter, March 1st, or April 1st (Fool\u2019s Day). It took until the 1582 reforms of the Gregorian calendar to set the start of the new year to January 1. This day is mostly a cultural festival with late-night parties on December 31st and \u201clucky\u201d meals on the first day of the year. Black-eyed peas (or other peas) represent coins, and greens represent dollars. Ham is a symbol of wealth.<\/p><p>The Moravian tradition, however, offers a special custom called the Watch-night Service. This has been widely adopted by Methodists and other Protestant groups. At a Watch-night Service, one repents of their sins and seeks to start the new year with a clean slate. In Methodism, in particular, there is a recommitment to Christ for a new year with the Wesleyan Covenant prayer. Included in many of these services is a \u201clove feast.\u201d A love feast has a common heritage to Holy Communion in the Bible but ended up as a separate meal. Because it is not an official sacrament, it can be celebrated without a pastor or priest, and among people of different traditions. A love feast service usually consists of testimony or witnessing and song. This is all celebrated with a special sweet love feast bun and a cup of sweetened coffee. It is a meal of celebration and communion with the gathered people. In fact, it embodies many of the elements that Holy Communion is meant to have, but the church has lost over the years.<\/p><p>One way to bring this tradition to your home is to have your family share their favorite parts of the ending year, then go around a second time with one thing they are looking forward to in the new year. This may end with a covenant prayer by John Wesley taken from the Puritan tradition:<\/p><p>\u201cI am no longer my own, but thine.<br \/>Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.<br \/>Put me to doing, put me to suffering.<br \/>Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee, <br \/>exalted for thee or brought low for thee.<br \/>Let me be full, let me be empty.<br \/>Let me have all things, let me have nothing.<br \/>I freely and heartily yield all things<br \/>to thy pleasure and disposal.<br \/>And now, O glorious and blessed God,<br \/>Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,<br \/>thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it.<br \/>And the covenant which I have made on earth,<br \/>let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5c1fd962 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5c1fd962\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3175d401\" data-id=\"3175d401\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0780686 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0780686\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d957837\" data-id=\"d957837\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3fe646 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wpzoom-elementor-recipe-card-widget-cpt\" data-id=\"b3fe646\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wpzoom-elementor-recipe-card-widget-cpt.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpzoom-custom-recipe-card-post wpzoom-rcb-post-shortcode\" data-parent-id=\"8432\" data-recipe-post=\"8432\"><div id=\"wpzoom-premium-recipe-card\" class=\"wp-block-wpzoom-recipe-card-block-recipe-card header-content-align-center block-alignment-left is-style-newdesign\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"recipe-card-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cookingthechristianyear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/lovefeastbuns.jpg\" alt=\"Moravian Love Feast Bun\" class=\"wpzoom-recipe-card-image\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cookingthechristianyear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/lovefeastbuns.jpg\" data-pin-description=\"Moravian Love Feast Bun\"\/>\t\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.recipe-card-image -->\n\t\t<div class=\"recipe-card-heading\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"recipe-card-title\">Moravian Love Feast Bun<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars-container\" data-rating=\"0.0\" data-rating-total=\"0\" data-recipe-id=\"8432\" data-user-can-rate=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars\"><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><\/ul><span class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars-average\"><small class=\"wpzoom-rating-average\">0<\/small> <small>from<\/small> <small class=\"wpzoom-rating-total-votes\">0<\/small> <small>votes<\/small><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<em class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars-tooltip\"><\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.recipe-card-heading -->\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"recipe-card-summary\"><em>This recipe is adapted from a recipe from Winkler Bakery in Old Salem, North Carolina. \u00a0Winkler Bakery is a Moravian bakery opened in 1800 and still open today!
