If you look out of your window tonight or tomorrow and the sky is clear, there's a good chance you'll see a shooting star as the earth's orbit will take it through the Geminid meteors, an event that happens every December. The shooting stars are set to light up the winter sky.
The brightest of these stars however pales into insignificance when compared to the Star of Bethlehem that heralded the birth of Jesus and led the Wise Men to the stable 2000 years ago. The star is still an important feature of our 21st century Christmas celebrations and can be seen in many decorative displays like this one at the end of East Street which even features the tail(s) of a shooting star.
And this little video tells the story of a magic Christmas Star.
