i dont know why but i think that they followed it because god told them to in their heart. or they felt in in their gut to do it.
The biblical story of the three kings following the North Star is symbolic of them seeking and following the guidance to find and honor the newborn Jesus, as the star was seen as a sign of his birth. It is a significant event in Christian tradition known as the Epiphany or the manifestation of Jesus to the Gentiles.
The carol "We Three Kings" contains the line "bearing gifts we traverse afar".
The Three Kings, also known as the Three Wise Men or Magi, are characters from the Christian nativity story. According to tradition, they are Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar, who followed a star to visit the baby Jesus and bring him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Their story is commonly celebrated during the Christmas season.
The North Star, also known as Polaris, is still a relatively young star in astronomical terms and is expected to remain stable for millions of years. It is not expected to "die out" within any foreseeable future.
We cannot know since the New Testament record is silent on this. We could speculate that they used the 'ship of the desert' the camel. This is how they are usually depicted, but there is no mention of this since the focus is on Jesus. Nor, incidentally are we told that there actually were three, only three gifts. There could have been two, three, four or even more.
Both the North Star and the Liberator were abolitionist newspapers published in the 19th century. The North Star was started by Frederick Douglass in 1847, and the Liberator was published by William Lloyd Garrison starting in 1831. Both newspapers advocated for the abolition of slavery and were influential in the antislavery movement.
