12/20/12 THE MAGI FOLLOWED THE LIGHT
The Magi were familiar with the Prophecies of the Old Testament and were trained in Astronomy (scientific study of heavenly objects) and in the Traditions associated with the Divine Signs in the heavens, not to be confused with Astrology (belief and study in supposed occultic powers of heavenly objects).
They "followed" the star because God's word and God's signs indicated the Messiah's coming. Interestingly, King Herod and others around Jerusalem were in the dark concerning the arrival of the Sun of Righteousness.
Some things never change. This Christmas, don't miss the message of God's Gift of Love.
