The Bethlehem star that the magi followed became a little more popular in 2020. On the eve of the winter solstice (12/21/2020) two planets aligned to become a planetary conjunction. Historical astronomers believe that as two planets converged they were most likely responsible for the light that the magi followed to the Christ child’s birth. This conjunction only happens every 400 years and was last seen 800 years ago!
The star, the light of hope, the candle for Christ’s birth! What an amazing light to celebrate especially in 2020. A meme posted on social media said that “After of 40 days of rain God showed Noah a rainbow. At the end of 2020 God shows us the Star of Bethlehem!” The sweetest part of this is if you are a Christian, one gift that never leaves you is the gift of HOPE and it began at that manger over 2000 years ago. We are offering our families a Sunday School lesson on the star, the magi, their camels and HOPE! Please enjoy these crafts as you hold on to the HOPE that came with the star that the magi followed to the birth of the Christ child. Let us carry this light of HOPE into 2021!
