| Σύνοψη: | Despite the fact that a widows' choir existed in almost every eighteenth-century Moravian congregation, frequently with its own choir house, there has to date been no examination of the Moravian widow in the eighteenth century. Tins essay examines how Zinzendorfs understanding of bridal mysticism in the 1740s was inflected to meet the spiritual needs of the recently bereaved woman. This essay also shows how, in the 1780s, the Principles of the Widows' Choir and its Instructions for Pastoral Care reflect that particular instantiation of the Ehereligion (bridal theology) and seek to provide the Moravian widow with both spiritual and physical support in her time of mourning and guide her to look to her eternal husband, Christ, for comfort. |
