Graceham, Maryland

Sectarian Portals ~ Moravian:  The Moravian Church was the original Protestant Church. It began with the protest of Jan Hus in the Czech lands of the Holy Roman Empire. After Hus was burned at the stake, his followers organized the Bohemian Brethren in 1457. They were wiped out in their homeland, but survived in the 'New World' where they established parishes in states such as Maryland. Do you know what is unusual about their cemeteries?
