The Christmas Star
A wonderful message has spread to rich and poor, to everyone in the country: A child has been born, a child king who will bring peace and joy to people. But how can you find him and bring him gifts? Then the stars begin to unite. First just a few, then more and more, until they become a huge, bright Christmas star. The sparkling, glittering star slowly moves towards Bethlehem. In this way it shows everyone the way to the manger: the shepherds in the field, the kings in the palaces and also the animals in the forest and in the desert. And everyone meets in harmony in front of the stable with the child to whom the star has led them. The longing for peace shines like a star over the whole earth.
