Mt 2, 9English original
And, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.
(in Luc. ii. 45.) The star is the way, and the way is Christ; and according to the mystery of the incarnation, Christ is a star. He is a blazing and a morning-star. Thus where Herod is, the star is not seen; where Christ is, there it is again seen, and points out the way.
