“We saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.” — Matthew 2:2

When the Heavens Declare His Glory

It’s one of the most famous symbols of Christmas: the Star of Bethlehem.

We hang it on trees, top our nativity scenes with it, and watch it guide the wise men in school plays. But the real star—the one described in Matthew 2—is cloaked in mystery.

What exactly did the Magi see?
Was it a supernatural miracle?
A natural phenomenon?
Or, perhaps, both?
