Bethlehem, PA (October 5, 2023) – A classic Moravian star shines above a set of four flickering candles in an arched window for this year\u2019s annual Christmas City Trellis Ornaments. \u201cThe star and candles represent the light Bethlehem\u2019s first responders shine on the community,\u201d said Brittney Ciardi, Assistant Vice President of the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce. \u201cFirst Responders, like the Star of Bethlehem, light the way during trying and uncertain times.\u201d<\/p>\n
People who purchase ornaments can have them engraved with a first responder\u2019s name. \u201cYou might honor your father who is a firefighter or your sister who is a police officer. Maybe you\u2019d like to recognize a first responder who protected you or saved the life of someone you love. An ornament is a truly beautiful way to say thank you in front of the entire community,\u201d said Ciardi.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
Get recognized on The Christmas City Trellis<\/b>
\nVolunteers hang the ornaments on the Christmas City Trellis at Payrow Plaza. Throughout the holiday season, thousands of people will admire them. Ciardi noted, \u201cFor many families, it has become a tradition to go find their ornament on the trellis and take photos.\u201d At the end of the season, you or the person who you are honoring, can take the ornament home.\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
Ornament sales help fund Christmas in the city
\n<\/b>The ornaments, which sell out quickly, serve as an important fundraiser for the Citizens Christmas City Committee. This 501c3 nonprofit organization organizes and funds Christmas decorations and community Christmas activities in Bethlehem every year.\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
