Description

The Star of Bethlehem endures as one of the world’s greatest mysteries. But what kind of star could lead astrologers on a three month journey from the east to the tiny town of Bethlehem? And why does the Gospel of Luke render an entirely different scenario of events surrounding Jesus’s birth? Utah archaeologist John McHugh presents seminal research which reveals that Christ’s birth can be traced to a picture story in the oldest, pagan star atlases from Mesopotamia. Ironically, the answer to this two-thousand year old mystery has been visible in plain sight, in the form of a pre-Biblical, still-frame in the pagan constellations. Learn how astrologer-priests, like the Magi that followed the Star of Bethlehem to Christ’s birth site, translated this astral tableau into the written narrative recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. Join archaeologist John McHugh at the Salt Lake City Library at 7 PM on Dec. 19th, on a quest to rediscover the Star of Bethlehem.
