I live in Alabama (Bible Belt) and raised Baptist. I have always thought that 'sunrise service' was actually 'sonrise' and held at 'sunrise' just to celebrate the day the Son was raised from the dead. Kind of a play on words. Not sure where it originated or if this is correct!

To many unbelivers and naysayer look for every possible reason to claim they are right and Christians are wrong! For those who say its pagan, your wrong! We do not watch the sunrise and worship the sun. We watch the Light that was created and worship the SON! To be exact on when Christians started having sunrise services here is the truth! The first Easter Sunrise Service recorded took place in 1732 in the Moravian congregation at Herrnhut in the Upper Lusatian hills of Saxony.[1] After an all-night prayer vigil, the Single Brethren, the unmarried men, of the community, went to the town graveyard, God's Acre, on the Hill above the town, to sing hymns of praise to the Risen Saviour.[1] The following year, the whole Congregation joined in the service. Thereafter the "Easter Morning" or "Sunrise Service" spread around the world with the Moravian missionaries.[1] The procession to the graveyard is accompanied by the antiphonal playing of chorales by brass choirs.[2]
