Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, 2 S. Hazel St., Manheim, invites the community to join in celebrating the 127th Festival of the Red Rose on Sunday, June 9, at the church. A choir will present a medley of songs, titled “How Can I Keep From Singing,” beginning at 1:30 p.m., and the Rose Festival Service will start at 2 p.m. An ice cream social will be held for all attendees after the service. The community tradition dates back to Dec. 4, 1772, when Henry William Stiegel and his wife, Elizabeth Holz Stiegel, conveyed a plot of ground on the corner of Wolf and East High streets to their fellow Lutherans on which to build a church in exchange for a unique continual payment. The property is listed as lot number 220 on Stiegel’s original map, and a note in Stiegel’s own hand says, “Church Lott, no price.” The deed in part reads, “for and in consideration of the sum of five shillings yielding and paying unto the said Henry William Stiegel, his
Stiegel family representative Owen Demmerly will receive the Rent of One Red Rose at this year’s Festival of the Red Rose on June 9. heirs, or assigns at the said town of Manheim in the month of June yearly forever hereafter the Rent of One Red Rose if the same shall be lawfully demanded.” See Red Rose pg 6
