The Epiphany Star
"We have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him."
(Matthew 2:2)
The star for Epiphany forms a visual continuity following the Advent wreath and the Christmas tree as symbols appropriate to the celebration of the Incarnation of our Lord. Just as the Magi followed the star to the place where Jesus was, so we come to worship Jesus in the Epiphany season, recalling thereby his coming to the Gentiles. The venerable tradition of hanging a star at home or in church for the season has been observed most faithfully by the Moravians.
