STORY ABOUT IT

The star of the Christmas tree represents the star of Bethlehem, which according to the New Testament of the Bible, was the star that guided the Magi to the birthplace of Jesus. This element also symbolizes the light, hope and faith that guides believers, in the same way that the star of Bethlehem guided the Magi. On the other hand, the meaning of the Christmas tree is that it represents Paradise, from where Adam and Eve ate the fruits, giving rise to original sin.

It also serves as a reminder that Jesus came to earth to achieve reconciliation. Its triangular shape is a representation of the Holy Trinity and its colors symbolize the different prayers of Advent. Blue is reconciliation, silver is gratitude, gold is praise and green is abundance and nature. https://www.milenio.com/estilo/estrella-de-navidad-significado-y-que-simboliza

At the same time, and even in the case of a biblical account, astronomers have traced the scriptural references to try to find a rational explanation for this episode in the New Testament, and they also try to find the exact date of the birth of Jesus Christ, to try to see which astronomical phenomenon could coincide chronologically with that event.
