It was not the The North Star.
The Three wise men are from a place east if Jerusalem. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, 2 wise men arrived, and then Jesus traveled north to Nazareth. The Star (Also know as the Star of Bethlehem) that the 3 wise men followed apparently was moving and was only visible to some people and for a short time. This star was probably Sirius Star or some unrecorded supernova or possibly even a comet.

∙ 16y agoIn the first place, The Bible doesn't tell us the number of wise men. The Bible says they followed a star. This could have been a comet or other type of celestial body, since the Bible isn't very specific about EXACTLY what it was.
