"Star Of Wonder"
- "Star Of Wonder" Dept. 56 Little Town Of Bethlehem Item #59906. Introduced 2000 and retired 2003. According to the Bible, the star of Bethlehem led the wise men to the child Jesus. Astronomers have theorized that this celestial body may have been the brilliant conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the constellation Pisces, which occurred three times in the year 7 B.C. Mathew gives us the impression that Jesus may have spent the first two years of his life in Bethlehem and most modern day scholars place His birth in 6 B.C. possibly 7 B.C. This lighted device is 2 c-cell battery operated and compatible with the Brite Lite Adapter #55026. Mint condition piece in original box & sleeve. Size: 12"
