The Star...Sparkling and twinkling in the clear night sky, generations wondered what glory lie in the stars above. Sea captains used stars as a compass to guide them, just as centuries ago the Magi followed the Star of Bethlehem to where Jesus was born. Traditionally, a star is placed on top of the Christmas tree in remembrance of its role in Christian history as a guide for our journey in faith. A symbol of guidance and faith, stars are among the earliest Christmas ornaments glassblowers created.
