But this symbol is more than metaphor. Christ is the Light of the World.
His light, the Light of Christ, still shines to guide wise men and wise
women to find Him and live forever in a place where there is no
darkness but only light and the love and joy that accompany that Light.

I’ve always thought it fitting that the Light of the World was introduced by a bright, new star.
Close your eyes for a moment and imagine being in a dark, dark room when
suddenly a speck of light appears. Slowly the light grows until the
room is illuminated as if by noon-day sun. Even in your imagination you
can feel the light bringing with it hope and love. It is amazing how
much positive feeling light introduces to a dark place, and all we have
to do to get rid of the dark is to let in the light.
On that first Christmas night, far above and untouched by anything
worldly, the new star pierced the darkness testifying to all nations
that hope had come.
