“the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.”
The story behind this colouring sheet
King Herod told the wise men to look in Bethlehem. So they set off again.
And look! The star they had seen in the east went ahead of them, leading the way. It moved across the sky until it stopped right over the place where the young child Jesus was.
We often picture the wise men riding camels, because camels were the best way to cross long, dry deserts. They could carry heavy loads and go for days without water.
The wise men must have been so glad to see the star again. God was guiding them every step of the way.
