Christmas day 2015, Peter looks at the contrasting stories of Herod and The Magi. These strange religious scholars from Babylon make their way across 900 km of desert, following astrological and astronomical cues in the night-sky, all to find this newborn baby Jewish King. Meanwhile the Machiavellian King Herod is plotting to send them on a manhunt so that he can ultimately kill the baby. What does this mean for us today?
