…Some have suggested that at the time in Jerusalem there was a rare sighting of the brightest star in the Southern Cross (Alpha Crucis). Bethlehem is higher than Jerusalem, so it’s possible the wise ones were in Bethlehem just to get the best possible view of the star. According to this theory, the star wasn’t leading them anywhere. They were chasing the star and stumbled on the birth of Jesus…
An excellent post about the meaning of the Bethlehem Star and what creative meaning we can place in the Star and the story. It is worth reading the whole article.
I have recently started a google Adwords campaign to advertise these new ideas on the Bethlehem Star possibly being Alpha Crucis. I was hoping to generate some discussion about this new perspective.
