Moravians

Moravians were a sect of Protestant Christians who, followers of John Huss, formed themselves into a separate community in Bohemia in 1467 on the model of the primitive Church, in which the members regarded each other as brethren, and were hence called the United Brethren. Like other heretics they suffered much persecution at the hands of the orthodox Church. They are known also as Herrnhuters.
