Rediscovering the Pagan Star of Bethlehem

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.
