A:The usual assumption is that the magi began to follow the star after Jesus was born, some believing that this was up to two years later. However, Ian Wilson (Jesus: The Evidence) says the hard reality is that the Matthew nativity story offers insufficient historicity for anyone to be confident that there was a star at all. In fact, this account has all the hallmarks of myth.
