The star of Bethlehem, or the Christmas star, has fascinated people for a very long time. Many have asked what the star might have been, and so theories abound. Late each year most planetaria feature programs exploring some of these possibilities. The account of the Christmas star is found only in the second chapter of Matthew’s gospel. Matthew wrote primarily to a Hebrew audience showing with reference to Old Testament prophecies that Jesus was the Messiah.

Larson’s DVD was released in 2007 and the Akron Fossils & Science Center has shown it on a few occasions.Here’s your chance to get another viewpoint.Suggested donation of $2 per person or $8 per family.
