The Star

The star of Bethlehem is only mentioned in Matthew and one could easily glide over that and yet the star has become a symbol of Christmas for many people.  We have a DVD in our Broom Tree Library about that star and it's importance.  It is worth a look.  The website for some of the data collected to make the movie is www.bethlehemstart.net
