a star
The north star
The shepherds and the wise men located the baby Jesus , with the help of the bright star.
A:The star of Bethlehem is only in Matthew's Gospel and we should not place this event in Luke's Gospel, which contains an entirely different nativity story. There is no suggestion that the shepherds ever saw the star.
The star in Bethlehem was the star that lead the lowly shepherds to Jesus' manger. It shone day and night, a miracle from God.
The star shone and that is how the shepherds found out that Jesus was going to be born
You can say the signs were the star , shepherds and wisemen and Joseph and Mary.
The star on top of a Christmas Tree represents the Star of Bethlehem which guided the shepherds and the three wise men to the stable and baby Jesus.
The angel did not tell the shepherds to follow anything at all. They agreed amongst themselves to go and see the Baby.In Luke 2:15 it states that the shepherds spoke to one another and said "let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has revealed to us".There was a Star that was followed by the wise men from the east who saw it in the sky and understood this phenomenon was a sign of the birth of the King of the Jews and they followedthis Star on their journey.
The shepherds believed the angels' message because they immediately went to Bethlehem to see the newborn baby, Jesus, for themselves. Their actions demonstrated that they trusted the message they had received from the angels.
The Gospels of Matthew and Luke each has a visitor to the baby Jesus in order to worship him.Matthew has the magi ('wise men') follow a star to worship Jesus and bring him gifts.In keeping with its theme of poverty, Luke has poor shepherds visit Jesus to worship him. The shepherds knew nothing of the star that Matthew has the magi follow, but were instead told of Jesus' birth by angels.
The three shepherds who visited Jesus were known as the Magi. They were a group of wise men from the East who had followed a star to Bethlehem. They were believed to be Persian astrologers and were known by the names of Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. These three men followed the star and brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to Jesus. They were the first to recognize Jesus as the King of the Jews and paid homage to Him.
