Many Christmas trees are adorned by a star. It is said to symbolize the light of the brightest star that was seen on the night that Christ the child was born. The Star of Bethlehem as it is sometimes called is an enduring symbol of Christmas.
A lot of experts and astrologers have used the appearance of this star to determine exactly when the Christ was born. We all know that December 25 is just a symbolic date, and a lot of people agree that this is because of various reasons: the Jewish Hanukkah, the pagan feast of the Saturnalia and the edict of Emperor Constantine to celebrate Christmas on the day.
The Christmas star has also been associated with light and hope. It represents the promises given to a people about a savior. A promise that was fulfilled on Christmas day.
It is also seen as a guide, as the Star of Bethlehem famously guided the Three Wise Men to the manger where the Christ was born.
