Noted
astronomer, Johann Kepler, studied this mystery two centuries ago. According to
Vyacheslav Zaitsev, "scientists held an international symposium to discuss this
matter."
This phenomenon attracted
the attention of the authors of the Christian Apocrypha. According to Zaitsev,
the Apocrypha was a group of "books banned by church censorship from services
and religious reading." The Apocrypha was written to answer man's deepest and
"most dramatic mysteries of life." Although Zaitsev believed that the problem of explaining this mystery "may turn
out to have an altogether unexpected solution." The solution lies in the Holy
Bible, which to this day remains a factual, historic document. He relates one
story documented in the Christian Apocrypha, which Zaitsev claims, was
"originally written in Latin." It was translated into many languages and was
translated into Byelorussia in the 15th Century.
"From that let us turn to the Christian Apocrypha...books banned by church
censorship from services and religious reading. The Apocrypha reflects man's
efforts to explain the most dramatic mysteries of life. These books sometimes
stand in direct contradiction of Church-approved texts.
"A familiar one about early Christianity is called The Tale of the Three
Magi...The star, it says, was watched by astronomers (that is the actual word
used) in many Oriental countries. Once it appeared at night and 'lit up the
whole of the sky as the sun does.' Then the star hung over Mt. Vans for a whole
day, after which it alighted on the mountain like an eagle. The text contains a
reference to 'certain books' which claim that Christ came down from the star.
'But it was different from the one pictured in our churches. It had wings, the
kind an eagle has, and many long rays,' which sent it moving in a circle when it
descended upon Mount Vans." -ZAITSEV
Zaitsev asks, "what was the basis of the author's fantasy? That, too, is
shrouded in mystery."
