The Epiphany of the Lord In ancient folklore a star was seen as proclaiming a birth of great significance. For example, legends say that the birth of Abraham was accompanied by a star which tradition says signified that Abraham and his descendants would come to rule the world. This star terrified the current rulers of Abraham’s day. Some traditions suggest that the birth of Nero was accompanied by a star signifying his future greatness. However, others suggest the story was not true, and that Nero used it in order to rise in power. The Book of Numbers (24:17) says a star from Jacob will herald the sceptre rising in Israel, proclaiming the greatness of Israel's God. And the Gospel of Matthew has a star announcing the birth of Christ. Some suggest that the reference to the star in the gospel account clearly shows the wise men as astrologers, Gentiles who would come to believe. This understanding of the star shows the widening scope of God's salvation to include all peoples and all nations. This might help to explain where the often cited words of support to “follow your own star” came from. We are invited on Epiphany to join with the wise men in following the star to the place of God's manifestation, to behold the incarnation of God's only Son.
