Zwanzigstein Fest
Zwanigstein means twenty stones. This name comes from when God led Joshua and the Israelites over
the Jordan River. When they were safely across, the Lord said to Joshua that the twelve chosen men, one from each tribe, were to take a stone from the middle of the Jordan, carry it out, and pile them up as a monument at the place where they camped that night. In the future, when their children asked, "What is this monument for?," they could tell them it is to remind them of God's amazing miracle. All nations of the earth will realize Jehovah is the mighty God and all will worship him forever.
As our forefathers (twenty families) traveled from Europe to settle here, they, too must have realized the mighty hand of God and truly worshiped him. When our children ask, we can tell them of this mighty God.
