Still Celebrating the Real Christmas Story 12/30

I am still celebrating the Christmas Story.  Today, I am celebrating the star.  Today, you can purchase the naming rights and name a star after a friend or relative.

Here is a informative video on the Bethlehem Star.

It is about an hour long.

Matthew 2:2 They asked, “Where is the baby who was born to be the king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”
When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, as were all the people in Jerusalem. Herod called a meeting of all the leading priests and teachers of the law and asked them where the Christ would be born. They answered, “In the town of Bethlehem in Judea. The prophet wrote about this in the Scriptures:
‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
    are not just an insignificant village in Judah.
A ruler will come from you
    who will be like a shepherd for my people Israel.’” Micah 5:2
Then Herod had a secret meeting with the wise men and learned from them the exact time they first saw the star. He sent the wise men to Bethlehem, saying, “Look carefully for the child. When you find him, come tell me so I can worship him too.”
