Lhe Magi, having learned of the birth of Jesus, come “from the East” guided by a star (Sirius) to pay homage “to the King of the Jews” who has just been born in Bethlehem. So here are the three kings and Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. They are all heading for the place of sunrise on December 25th. This is why the three kings follow this star to the east: to locate the location of sunrise, the birth of the Sun. The Virgin Mary represents the constellation Virgo, also known as Virgo the Virgin. Virgo in Latin means Virgin. We also refer to Virgo when we talk about “the house of bread” the representation of Virgo is a virgin holding an ear of wheat. This house of bread and the symbol of wheat correspond to the months of August and September, the harvest time. At the same time, Bethlehem can literally be translated as the “house of bread”. Bethlehem therefore refers to the constellation of Virgo a position in the sky and not on Earth.
Another very interesting phenomenon appears around December 25, ie at the winter solstice. From the summer solstice until the winter solstice the days become shorter and colder. From the point of view of the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun operates a movement towards the South, it becomes smaller and becomes rarer. The shortening of the days and the end of the harvest as the winter solstice approached symbolized the process of death for the ancients.
