\"\"<\/a><\/a>The Star of Bethlehem features in the Nativity story, as mentioned in a passage in the Gospel of Matthew. This star is said to have guided the Magi, who had come from the East, to Jerusalem, where they met King Herod of Judea, and to have asked him where the newborn King of the Jews was. They then claimed to have seen his star rise and wanted to find this child to pay homage to him and bring him gifts. According to a verse in the Book of Micah, Herod then directed the Magi to Bethlehem, a village near Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

Aussi appel\u00e9e \u00e9toile de Christmas<\/a>, cet astre n\u2019est toutefois pas mentionn\u00e9 dans l\u2019\u00c9vangile selon Luc. Son r\u00e9cit pr\u00e9cise plut\u00f4t l\u2019apparition d\u2019un ange annon\u00e7ant la naissance de l\u2019enfant Jesus<\/a>. Lequel de ces deux \u00e9vang\u00e9listes dit vrai ? Il n\u2019est gu\u00e8re possible de trouver une r\u00e9ponse plausible \u00e0 cette question, puisque les m\u00e9moires de Luc diff\u00e8rent presque toujours de ceux r\u00e9dig\u00e9s par Mathieu. Bien que ces passages fussent \u00e9tudi\u00e9s par de nombreux experts de la Bible, nul n\u2019a pu affirmer la v\u00e9rit\u00e9, car \u00e0 maintes reprises, on constate effectivement plusieurs contradictions entre leurs r\u00e9cits.<\/p>\n

In short, whatever the case, the Star of Bethlehem, just as much as the angel who appeared to the Magi, are part of the story of the Bible, and both also constitute a Christmas tradition. Moreover, in memory of this famous star and this angel announcing the good news, the top of Christmas trees is often decorated with either a star or an angel.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
