The U.S. saw its 26th UNESCO World Heritage Site declared this past summer.

It was in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where a historic settlement of the Moravian Church,

along with three other such settlements in Germany, Denmark, and Northern Ireland,

were collectively named a World Heritage Site this year.

Digital video producer Tim McPhillips went to Bethlehem

to see what made this Moravian settlement so unique.

This holiday season in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania,

looks like it does every year.

A Christmas tree stands by City Hall

with a nativity scene at its base.

Twinkling lights adorned the city's main street.

But one thing is new.

This summer, the United Nations Educational, scientific, and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO,

deemed this place, the Bethlehem-Moravian settlement, as the United States 26th UNESCO World Heritage Site.

So the Moravians date their history back to 1457.

The followers of a Catholic priest and reformer, John Huss,

formed what they called the Unitus Fratrum, or the unity of their brethren, in the Czech Republic area.

They eventually became known as the Moravian Church.

Janelle Reis is the senior pastor of Bethem's Central Moravian Church, which is still

an active church.

There's no Christianity without community, and I think that is one of the core

attendants and beautiful beliefs of the Moravian Church.
