Upcoming event- The Star of Bethlehem: What did the Magi See? Unraveling the Mystery through Science and an Ancient Coin
Father Douglas McGonagle, author, professor with Ph.D in Astronomy, and later turned Catholic priest will be unwrapping the mystery of the Star of Bethlehem as he walks us through the science, ancient astronomy/ancient astrology and clues to what the Magi saw in his upcoming presentation and book signing on December 10th. His recently published book, The Star of Bethlehem: What Did the Magi See?
His book review reveals, “The imagery of the Christmas story traditionally shows a giant star hovering above the stable in Bethlehem guiding the wise men to pay homage to the infant Christ. The star has been a source of fascination to many: was it simply a bright light in the sky? A planet or comet? How did it lead the Magi to a tiny village in Judea? Do the clues lie in an ancient coin?”
This is NOT a Catholic presentation, but a look into the Nativity Story- which is shared by Christians worldwide- through the lens of Ancient Astronomy/Astrology by a presenter who happens to be a priest. This talk and book signing unravels the mystery scientifically of the Star of Bethlehem through a small, ancient coin.
