Star of Bethlehem
"Star of Bethlehem" takes you back to the little town of Bethlehem of long ago, in the endeavor to investigate what was the “star” that guided the wise men.
The Star of Bethlehem presents all the historical and scientific facts we know today in order to unravel this 2,000-year-old mystery in a special audiovisual show that fills the audience with a sense of wonder and an air of innocence.
Accompanied by the music of the best known Christmas carols of the season, the narration guides the audience through the various historical and astronomical information of the Christmas story along with the various facts concerning our calendar, and guides them to make their own conclusions as to what this “wonder” star was all about.
