FIRST WRITING ON THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM
“A star was seen to shine in the sky which paled all the others: its brilliance was inexpressible, its novelty caused astonishment; all other stars, together with the sun and the moon, followed it, but its splendor erased that of all other stars combined.” Ignatius of Antioch (1st c.)
