the.com/star of bethlehem

means A brilliant celestial light — or a star-shaped white flower — but mostly the biblical beacon said to have guided the Magi to the infant Jesus in Bethlehem.

from The name comes straight from the Gospel of Matthew, where a star rises in the east and leads the Magi to the newborn Jesus. For two millennia it's been a magnet for speculation: comet, supernova, planetary conjunction, or pure theology with no sky event at all. The flower (genus Ornithogalum) borrows the name later, for its six-pointed white blooms that fancifully echo a guiding star — a botanical nod, not a biblical one.
