Hello all,

Was contemplating the Christmas story and all of the
popular conjecture about both the story's origins and
the holiday's origins. Specifically from a science
perspective, I've done a bit of reading about the Star
of Bethlehem and the theories about astronomical
events that this may have corresponded to. I was
wondering what your perspectives on the Christmas
story, the Christmas holiday, and the Star of
Bethlehem might be?

Thanks ahead of time for the insights :) Merry
Christmas! 

In Christ,
Christine
