Guided by an Unexpected Light

Why did a star suddenly appear in the sky, unlike any the wise men had ever seen before? What was its purpose, and why did it shine so brightly, piercing the darkness? This unexpected sign led them on a journey through unfamiliar lands, drawing them toward something far greater than they could have ever imagined. Could this star have been a divine invitation to discover the Savior, or was there something even deeper behind its appearance?

Why did God choose such an unassuming, insignificant place for His arrival?
