In Christian tradition, the Star of Bethlehem, revealed the birth of Jesus to the magi, or "wise men", and later led them to Bethlehem. The star appears in the nativity story of the Gospel of Matthew, where magi "from the east" are inspired by the star to travel to Jeruselem. From the Book of Micah, the star interpreted as a prophecy, directs them to Bethlehem, a nearby village. The star leads them to Jesus' house in Bethlehem, where they pay him homage, worship him, and give him gifts. The wise men then return to their own country. Let's all be wise men during this Holiday Season and acknowledge we are, as the created, standing in need of a Saviour.
