Triple Conjunction

It is said these days by astronomers of faith that the Christmas star may have been a conjunction of planets which the Chaldean Magi saw as the astrological sign of a king being born in the land of the Jews. If you rise early for prayer, and it is clear, go outside and look to the southeast before sunrise and see the conjunction of the planets Jupiter, Mercury, and Mars near the star Beta Scorpii, and think of the star (whatever it was) which was a sign to those pagan kings of the birth of the King of Kings.

where to look

And don’t worry. If you missed it today, it will be in the sky for several days just before sunrise, so check it out.
