The Star of Bethlehem by Edward Burne-Jones 1890 Water Color Painting Tapestry Catholic Christian Orthodox Icon Bible Scripture Christ Gift

"The Star of Bethlehem," a breathtaking watercolour painting by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, is a masterpiece that radiates the essence of faith, hope, and joy. Created in 1890, this stunning artwork captures the magical moment when the Magi, guided by the celestial star, arrive to pay homage to the newborn King Jesus. At the centre of the painting, the Virgin Mary cradles the Christ child, surrounded by an aura of serenity and love. Her gentle gaze and tender touch convey the depth of her devotion to her divine Son. Jesus, illuminated by the soft glow of the star, embodies the promise of salvation and redemption. The three wise men, representing the Gentile nations, approach the manger with reverence and awe. Their faces reflect a mix of wonder and humility as they acknowledge the Messiah's arrival. The gifts they bear – gold, frankincense, and myrrh – symbolize the recognition of Jesus' kingship, divinity, and ultimate sacrifice. Burne-Jones' use of vibrant colours and symbolic imagery imbues the painting with spiritual significance. The star shining bright above, its rays illuminating the scene, represents God's guidance and providence. The angels hovering above, their wings outstretched, embody the heavenly host that announced Jesus' birth to the shepherds. The painting's background, a deep blue hue, evokes the night sky and the mystery of the Incarnation. The architectural elements, inspired by medieval Gothic style, signify the bridge between the Old and New Testaments. In "The Star of Bethlehem," Burne-Jones masterfully conveys the unity of humanity and divinity. As we gaze upon this beautiful painting, we are reminded of the profound implications of Jesus' birth: God's love incarnate, the promise of forgiveness, and the hope of eternal life. This masterpiece invites us to contemplate the significance of the Nativity story. Like the Magi, we are drawn to the radiant light of Christ, guided by faith and a deep longing for spiritual connection. Burne-Jones' "The Star of Bethlehem" inspires us to worship, to adore, and to reverence the sacred moment that changed the course of human history. As Christians, we find solace in the painting's representation of God's unfailing love and faithfulness. "The Star of Bethlehem" reminds us that, like the star that guided the Magi, God's presence illuminates our path, leading us to the heart of Christianity – the love, grace, and redemption embodied in Jesus Christ. In this sublime painting, Burne-Jones has captured the essence of our faith: the intersection of heaven and earth, the union of human and divine, and the eternal promise of hope and salvation. "The Star of Bethlehem" is a testament to the transformative power of art, inspiring generations to contemplate, worship, and celebrate the miraculous birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Christopher Paul Rabalais About me: Jesus follower, inventor and techno-missionary committed to evangelism and uplifting humanity. I started my first state-licensed business at age 15. The first million-dollar business was achieved in my early twenties. I was completely burned out by 29 and moved to Costa Rica, where I saw poverty first-hand for the first time. GOD touched me and I began a personal crusade to understand why people are poor. I spent the last roughly 25 years (half my life) developing a sports-based solution facing great and supernatural resistance. At age 50 after two life-changing pilgrimages to Israel in December 2018 and April 2019, I made the commitment to serve GOD ONLY and took a legal Vow of Poverty until death.
