Star of Bethlehem

The star of Bethlehem is said to be the star that led the three wise men to baby Jesus when he was born. Some stories say that the star was so bright and shiny that it led the wise men from far away to the stable where Jesus was born. Some people believe that the star was a miraculous sign from God. Even though there is no solid proof that the star actually existed, many people still believe in the story and celebrate Christmas every year to remember Jesus' birth.
