What Was the Star of Bethlehem, a Miraculous Object, or a Natural Phenomenon?

from Martin Tanner's Religion Today · host Martin Tanner

The planetariums have it wrong - the Star of Bethlehem could not be a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. It also could not have been a supernova or other natural star. Host Martin Tanner explains why the Bethlehem Star could only have been either a supernatural event or the 5 BC comet.  You will also learn details about who the "Magi" were, where they came from, and why they came to see Jesus.
