A Star is born The Magi were led to Christ by the light of a star.
But they saw the star only because they were not afraid to travel in the dark.
The fact is, we cannot see the stars in the bright light of day but only in the darkness of night and the darker the night the brighter they shine.
In a sense, all of us are night time travellers, however we need no longer fear the darkness because with the coming of Christ a light has come into the world, a light that shines in the dark, a light that no darkness can overpower.
Three Wise Men
The Magi or three wise men were among the first to adore the Infant Jesus. They were guided to His crib by a miraculous star. We recall the adoration of the Magi on the feast of the Epiphany. The word "Epiphany" means "manifestation", and just as at Christmas, it is the mystery of God appearing in visible form; only no longer does He show Himself to the Jews alone but “on this day" it is “to the Gentiles that God reveals His Son”
