I believe it traveled with the wise men and lead them to Jesus. It was overhead, so a comet would be a good guess.

Maybe it was a supernatural occurrence. It is said the
star moved before the Magi and stood over Bethlehem. Normal stars…or any other normal celestial object…don’t typically move in the sky and then stand above (and mark) a particular location, which allowed the Magi to find the newborn Jesus and present Him with gifts. Doesn’t sound like a normal phenomenon, but more like a supernatural sign.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

It was Boddington in a space lab testing out one of those flashlights he shills for.

I wonder how long it would take to get from Persia to Bethlehem on a horse or camel? I wonder what connection they (Magi) had to the Jewish religion. You reckon maybe the Zoroastrians were the parent religion of Judaism? I love the history in the bible but there are a lot of gaps and things left unexplained.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Believe with all the faith you got in one hand, [bleep] in the other. Which one fills up first?

Faith is one thing I’m envious of. Unfortunately I’m too cynical to embrace the concept. Seems like Life would be simpler with it than without it though.

No indication the "Magi" were Jewish. What would be the reason God notified them of the birth of the birth of the prophet and messiah Jesus? They were likely non-Jewish gentiles and most likely adherents of Zoroaster. That is not explained.

Faith is one thing I’m envious of. Unfortunately I’m too cynical to embrace the concept. It's easy to understand that it's very difficult for many to surrender one’s life to a God that one has never seen. It's easy to understand that it's very difficult for many to surrender one’s life to a God who speaks to one’s heart, who speaks through ancient literature, who speaks through one’s conscience, and who speaks through the Holy Spirit. And it's easy to understand that it's very difficult for many, basically, to write a blank check for one’s whole life to God for the reasons above. Even some of Jesus' own followers...those who were with Him while He was here on earth...didn’t fully believe until 'after' the resurrection. They didn’t fully believe until they saw with their own eyes. Seems like Life would be simpler with it than without it though. It is. It changes one’s perspective for the better. Big time.
